I almost went to the sale because of this massive error.
Nice research. No wonder they put a big stack of Blood-Horse magazines outside the men's room at Keeneland. Pretty soon they'll be stocking the toilet paper dispensers with them.

In the current print edition (July 9-16), there's write-ups on a few first crop yearling sires. On Brother Derek, Michael Youngs wrote that he finished 4th in the Derby behind Giacomo, and proving that wasn't just a misprint or a slip, added that Brother Derek was then 4th in the Preakness behind Afleet Alex! He got the finish positions right, but unfortunately, the year was a bit skewed!
I don't know how big a deal that is, but it just seemed to me to be a mistake that shouldn't have been made.
