The top three finishers also had an Irish flavor to them - as the winner Heatseeker was bred in Ireland and the dams of 2nd and 3rd place finishers Go Between and Champs Elysees were both bred in Ireland.
Another Haskin-like tidbit, all 3 were sired by unlucky losers from the 2000 BC program. Heatseeker by Giant's Causeway (Classic), Go Between by Point Given (Juvenile), and Champs Elysees by Dansili (Mile).
