While Mr. WarTrotter never actually won a Triple crown, he became famous for getting 3rd place four years in a row, and was the only horse to ever have done so. However, his valor is not without controversy. In 1963 he was favored to win the triple crown by a longshot. He was a horseheadlengths ahead of all other racers the entire race until a horse by the name of Longsfellow made physical contact with Mr. WarTrotter and he tripped up and lost at least One and One halves horselength to finish third.
