I know it's been beaten to death but even though there was 4 winners with saddlecloth #1, the rail bias was overstated. Only Street Sense stayed on the rail the entire time (and all he did was become the first BCJ champ to win the Kentucky Derby.)

BCJF: Dreaming of Anna was a strong favorite and drifted 4 wide on the first turn and the 2nd and 3rd finishers ran outside for at least part of the race.
BCJ: Street Sense stayed on the rail, but the 2nd and 3rd place finishers rallied from far back in the middle of the track.
Sprint: Thor's Echo was 3w despite being the 1. Friendly Island rode the rail as the 2. Nightmare Affair was 3-4w most of the race.
Distaff: Round Pond was on the inside most of the race, but the next three were the 12,13, and 14 and finished on the middle of the track.
Classic: The entire superfecta was out in the middle of the track, and the winner was widest of all.
