Obviously there have been some very good ones win the race over the last 20 years. Point Given, Birdstone, Summer Bird, Victory Gallop, Lemon Drop Kid, Thunder Gulch, Tabasco Cat, A. P Indy.
However -- the closers who have got the setup in this race -- and more recently -- the horses who've won from up near a soft pace --- have both been disastrous underachievers since.
