The horses who raced 15-19-10-17-20 after six furlongs made up the top five spots.
The 10th place finisher Bold Ego - who was 2nd after 6fs and faded the least severly of the speed horses - was 2nd to Plesant Colony in the Preakness. |
EVERYONE bet Bold Ego in that Preakness, as it went from being the biggest speed filled Derby ever to a paceless race in the Derby. Pleasant Colony still won.
