Still shocked they kept the winner up.

Probably because of the shiatty economy.

I don't remember ever seeing an exacta where the dams of the 1-2 finishers were Grade I winners. And if it has happened, I guarantee you the exacta didn't pay $392.

That race was loaded with pedigree. 3rd place finisher Open Sleigh was out of Call Now, who won the Del Mar Debutante (then Gr2, now Gr1). Elusive Gift in 4th was out of Grade 3 winner Christmas Gift (who also produced Gr1 winner Christmas Kid). Bob's Star (6th) and Yield Bogey (7th) were also out of Graded stakes winners. Even the last place horse was a 1/2 to Johannesburg...

Craziest progeny-pedigree exacta: La Villa Rouge over Better than Honour in a MSW. It really happened, look it up.

What an absolutely pedigree-loaded field. Odd that they'd all show up in a 7F turf MSW.
