Post Handicap Triple Crowns
So I've reached that point in the game where the group races are quite easy to win but I've been retaining my 2nd tier horses to compete in handicaps which have greater lols. eg

My challenge is to see if anyone can win the Silver Bowl, John Smiths Cup and the Ebor with the same horse in the same season, ideally with no races in between. Possible?

Can you think of any other handicap triple crowns?

I find handicaps ok to win but sometimes you come across something that is ridiculously well in!

The Triumph went on to win the International by a rapidly reducing 1/4 length and is now rated 112 so can't compete in handicaps anymore :(

If u want a challenge then why not turn our/american triple crown races in to h'caps, now that would be a challenge. He would have to be some horse to win all those races, and to make it even harder turn the irish races so he would have to win 6 races, english&irish guineas, english&irish derby's and the two St.leger's. Now to do that u horse would need to be a machine.

What's the saying, have legs will travel. And horses have four legs so they can get there even faster.


Ok, just move the leger's afew days apart.

I think Sergeant Cecil was the last horse to complete the feat.
