Rip Van Winkle was 3/1 in the betting .. and he's only running a couple lengths faster than 2yo's in Europe going his best distance.
Summer Bird was 3rd choice in the betting .. he never ran on a synthetic track before and had less than ideal turf breeding.
Twice Over was 4th choice in the betting. He ran 3rd even though I thought he was struggling with the turns somewhat and didn't seem comfortable.

I don't have time to find them all, but a quote from your hero John Sherriffs:
"That was the biggest moment for me," he said. "The streak was on the line, the fans were there to see her run. A chance for Horse of the Year was on the line.
She was running against one of the best Breeders' Cup Classic fields ever assembled. As they say in poker, we were all in."
Blood-horse says this ever year, but I think they suffer from early alzheimer's for the most part.
