Take nothing away from Rags to Riches--the first filly to win to win the Belmont Stakes in 102 years--she is special, but Genuine Risk participated in the entire Triple Crown. She won the Kentucky Derby, then was second in a controversial Preakness that some feel she should have won, and second again, in the Belmont Stakes. An amazing champion!
