The last time the top three finishers ran 1-2-3 around the track before Saturday was 1915? Is this true? I am quite convinced that WE and PC were at a HUGE advantage in this years race given the speed favoring strip and the moderate pace. I am making no guarantees in the Preakness, as those tight turns at Pimlico can produce some strange outcomes, but I will be amazed if both WE and PC don't back up big time in the next few months. I will be even more amazed if those two horses don't get wiped out when they face the big boys later in the year....

Really sad to hear the Slew news. The horse was before my time, but looking at some of the films, he really looked like one of the great ones of all time.
