Odd though it may seem, one of the things I remember most about the race was the raucous celebration of the Campo camp because their horse(Twice A Prince I'm pretty sure) ran 2nd, resulting in what I want to say was an approx $32 exacta, a princely sum for me & my fellow Army draftees, all there to parlay our scores in the Preakness. I also remember that Forego ran on the undercard, & that getting reasonably good seats the day of the race wasn't anywhere near as difficult as it is likely to be this Sat.

You had to like the suggestion in the article by the Courier's beat writer today. He's sending tongue ties to Frankel & Bailey to see if that will shut them up until Sat. Speaking of writers, interesting to learn after the fact that the Herald "writer" who broke the Santos story used to work for the Blood-Horse, but was fired for sloppy journalism.

Also interesting to learn from the NY Times today that Mr Knowlton owns 20% & the four other high school pals of the now famous stable only 4% each of Funny Cide. The remaining 60% is owned by, per the article, four as yet unidentified investors.
