No he didn't. He won the Caulfield & Melbourne Cups in 97 and won the Cox Plate in 98. Still a magnificent performance but they weren't in the same year or same season.

And for good measure, Rising Fast came out & won the Next Caulfield Cup as well, and then, after a torrid run & carrying a big weight managed 2nd in the Melbourne Cup.
