The horses who raced 1-2-3-4-5 after six furlongs finished 19-10-18-16-17

The horses who raced 15-19-10-17-20 after six furlongs made up the top five spots.

The 10th place finisher Bold Ego - who was 2nd after 6fs and faded the least severly of the speed horses - was 2nd to Plesant Colony in the Preakness.

EVERYONE bet Bold Ego in that Preakness, as it went from being the biggest speed filled Derby ever to a paceless race in the Derby. Pleasant Colony still won.
