Or second careers. Tbs are making a bit of a comeback at shows.

Not super famous, but Liberian freighter was a stakes horse who has become a nice show horse

Alydar would've won the TC any other year other than 73, 77, 78

I have heard some guys arguing on a rail that he was better than Slew. But unbeaten is unbeaten and as much as I recall Seattle Slew is only unbeaten TC winner ever.
