Some people forget that Any Given Saturday was a shorter price than Curlin in the Breeders Cup Classic in which he won...and the Belmont Stakes the year R2R won it was such an insanely slow paced race and Curlin was down inside at Belmont.

I realize R2R beat a far more legit horse ... but it's tempting to pick RA's Preakness because R2R's Belmont was run at a snail's pace at an uncommonly long distance.

I voted dead heat.

Another less tricky poll would be RA's Oaks win vs RA's Preakness win.
