"Oaklawn set for 'greatest stakes race' announcement"

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Balto Star was a total freak during the Derby preps. That's a seriously underrated horse by the way. A millionaire on both surfaces - quality victory on dirt over Mineshaft the year he won HOTY and gamely fighting off The Tin Man to win a Grade 1 on turf.

But yeah, I like how some people will try to credit the Arkansas Derby by attatching Saint Liam's name to it .. he was only beaten by about a pole to the mighty Sir Cherokee and Eugene's Third Son in that race.
