Not bad, but you were betting the favorite until the gates popped. Sweetnorthernsaint went off at about 5.5 to 1.

In the next race Sweetnorthernsaint was about 8.5 to 1, Bernardini about 13-1 and Hemingways Key about 30-1. The favorite of course had an eight week layoff between his two Florida races and a five week layoff before the Kentucky Derby. He had to come back in two weeks after running hard in Kentucky and the rest is history. There are those that believe the trainers should dictate the spacing of the Triple Crown events. If Trainers are allowed to do so the Triple Crown will never have firm dates. The Triple Crown races will alter upon the whims of the Trainers and those that call themselves Trainers. The day may come when the Derby will be run in May, The Preakness in June and the Belmont on Travers Day. A Championship season will involve four races on Poly Turf. Still, for some horses 8 weeks won't be enough rest and the type of horse needing that much time off will continue to come unglued.

I don't think so. Better for the brittle to break down. Darwin's Theory of Evolution. That is of course, unless you can keep your attention span upon a Triple Crown that lasts longer than the baseball season in a campaign of four starts.
