Default Triple Crown + Travers

Whirlaway is the only horse in history to officially complete the sweep of these four classic 3-year-old events.

He gave the 2nd and 3rd place finishers 18lbs each in his Travers win and did it under 130lbs.

Affirmed finished 1st in the '78 Travers, but was DQ'd for fouling 2nd place finisher Alydar.

Whirlaway and Affirmed are also the only two Triple Crown winners to win Horse of the Year honors as 4-year-olds.

If I'll Have Another sweeps the Triple Crown -- I think the likelihood of him trying to win the Travers or coming back at age 4 will have everything to do with how much top offer is for him as a stallion.
