2 mates of mine have been arguing about the last horse to win the triple crown (english).
1 says Oh so sharp, the other says Nijinsky.
Who is right and why?

BOTH of you - 'in essence'

NIJINSKY = Colt - thus TRUE Triple Crown winner

OH SO SHARP = Filly - Thus a 'Fillies Triple Crown winner' ....

But Fillies 'Triple Crown Crown ' - NOT regarded as THE Triple Crown.
