Would have thrown in the 2 prep rule but that has long been debunked.
He should've been 500-1. People who bet him to win got jipped majorly.

Mine That Bird beat Advice in Sunland....would anyone have been as shocked if Advice won??? Maybe those Sunland figures really aren't accurate. Good horses run at Sunland almost never, so maybe something just got messed up when calculating those speed figures.
