As far as which pedigree in the race was the most unattractive commercially, The two Bill Kaplan trained horses were 1-2...with the edge going to the eventual 4th place finisher.
You mention the pace of the Bluegrass---but that was over that phony surface--Street Sense got ran down from behind in that race, by a horse (Dominican) who was very rank through the early stages.
But yeah, the Jamie Sanders horse wasn't exactly stoutly bred, that's for sure
