Who Am I ???

*I am one of the only horses ever to be favored in different Breeders‘ Cup races. *I was a multiple grade 1 winner in each of my seasons on the racetrack. *Unfortunately both myself and my regular rider are no longer of this world. *I did something of note in the Triple Crown that may never be done again. *Dad‘s racing career may have been cut short, but my grandparents achieved historic accomplishments. *I was only defeated nine times, and one of those was via disqualification in a turf stakes at Saratoga. *Among the horses I defeated include a handicap champion, a three-year-old champion, and a sprint champion, and one of those was a Horse of the Year. *I was also a champion, but the truth hurt in my attempt for a second. *My first six grade 1 victories were contested at six different racetracks from coast to coast. *The best of my offspring include a Canadian and an Englishman. *I hold a Breeders‘ Cup distinction that can never be taken away from me.
