Why would they split the variant?

Bottom line ... the winner of that race was scratched from his next start because of a physical issue. The 2nd place finisher and 3rd place finisher both didn't win a single race the rest of the year.
Maybe Another Review should have got a 124 and A P Indy a 105?

Oh, and you neglected to answer my question about favoritism in the derby that year. Do you think Lil E. Tee was going to go off at lower odds than Indy?
If not, why? Just cause Indy had the expensive price tag and the fancy pedigree?
Maybe because people might have realized who was really the better horse, ridiculous figures or not?
