Cash Run won her debut at Belmont Park by 15, I think. My recollection was that it was a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, so the few of us in attendance were treated to a monster effort.
Didn't Friendly Island win by about 15 in his debut the day after the Belmont Stakes? He was a Pletcher firster who was cold on the board -- by Pletcher firster standards -- at 4-1. It was a chilly day, too.

Think it was 18, but I could be wrong. I liked that horse a LOT, made some nice change on him throughout his career.
I was at the '05 Wood as well. Nothing against Bellamy Road, but that field was truly terrible...
