The Bid wins at 1:57 and change.

Except they don't run the Kentucky Derby for four year olds and that 1:57 was run over a rock hard Hollywood Park surface

Those piddly facts just get in the way.

I will say this for the bid that day he ran the 1:57 at hollywood:

He liked the track and he was totally "being himself" that day.

...and this dude loves the 'Bid

If anyone has a shot at Big Red, I personally think it'd be Affirmed...horse just refused to be passed.

Well, the poster didn't specify. I pretended that SB was running in the best form of his entire career in the KD. If he was running in his best form, there wasn't a horse that could beat him.
