Sinister Minister's race came over a very speed biased racetrack, that had yielded one wire-to-wire blowout winner after another, in route races, all week long.
One of the horses who were totally drowned came back to run 2nd in the Kentucky Derby three weeks later. Another, SC, won the Dwyer and Super Derby. The figure was accurate that day---the fluky performance by the winner was a direct result of the speed biased nature of the track.
