Sunday Silence received a horrible draw being matched against the mighty Citation in the first round. Despite the fact that Citation is almost certainly one of the top five horses of the twentieth century, I had to pull the trigger on the Sunday Silence upset.
My other BIG upset is Nashua over Spectacular Bid.

Phar Lap got a pretty rough draw also... Also, I didn't pay that much attention, but were there any fillies in the draw?

I spent over an hour going through the first round matchups. I really enjoyed looking over each horses PP's.

I was also a little surprised Ruffian wasn't given a spot. She deserved one.
