Rail Link was near 15-1 in the States and 25-1 in Europe.

Deep Impact had run off a long layoff before. I don't think that's an excuse. Not that running 3rd beaten less than a length in this race needs an excuse. That's still one of the finest horses in the world.

I had a whopping $5 win on both Rail Link and Shirocco so I had the field surrounded. Boxed 4 horses in the exacta, ignoring Deep Impact, and still managed to miss Pride in the 2nd spot.
