Plus your comment about Trotamondo "He did win the Triple Crown in Chile, but those races were for “spring” 3yos, and probably would not come up as big figures relative to these older stakes horses." is a little condescending. The last Chilean Triple crown winner was Lido Palace who raced in the US quite well. In 2001, Lido Palace won the Whitney Handicap (gr. ) at Saratoga and the Woodward Stakes (gr. 1) at Belmont Park. He was second to Albert the Great in the Suburban Handicap (gr.2) and was runner-up to Duckhorn in the Hawthorne Gold Cup Handicap (gr. 2).
