Winning the first two legs doesn't put you in the same class with Secretariat. Secretariat was a freak of nature. That Belmont win of 31 lengths will never be repeated. 1.60 was about where Charismatic probably should have been. Great horse, no doubt, but not Big Red, and winning the triple crown doesn't make you Big Red either.
