I think Arazi was favored in the Mile, even though he had established he was toast numerous times during the course of the year.
Caltech I think was favored in the '89 Turf. He was an allowance horse that won the Bud International. Somehow, Euro horses that had ran decent races in the Arc, had prior Group 1 form, and came from two of the biggest stables in France (ie Star Lift and Sierra Roberta), went off at ridiculously huge odds ). They ran 2-3 as Prized won the race at 5-1 or so.
Can't remember if she was favored, but I remember Ragin Fever's performances getting worse and worse (despite winning) as the distances got longer during her 2yo campaign.
