The reason why they went off at such a huge price is because the race came from out of nowhere - and they bascially both sucked sh!t through a straw prior to the one big recent race.

If my recollection is correct, War Emblem was also allowed an uncontested lead. This hasn't happened since and will probably not happen very often given the amount of sprinters (that have won the majority of their graded earnings in sprint races as 2 year olds or early in their 3 year old season) now entering the derby
