Who was the last Met Mile winner to run in the money in a TC race ?

Gulch, who was 3rd in the Belmont and unplaced in the other 2 Classics. Proper Reality was 4th in the Derby and Wild Rush was unplaced in the Belmont.

On the reverse, Easy Goer is the only recent Classic winner to at least place in the Met Mile. Broad Brush, Pleasant Tap, Cherokee Run, and Musket Man placed in both a Classic and the Met Mile.

Because I love to play the what if game and want to sulk about my toughest beat of 2012, what does anybody think the p6 would have paid with Caleb's Posse getting up?

Probably close to the same. Maybe 10-20% less if anything. Still a nice chunk

What would my pick 3's and 4's have been with Cash for Clunkers and Zo Impressive?

Cash looked like a winner till deep stretch, so i can give you your imagination there. But Zo was never a threat and wasnt close, Nice pick in the first leg!

Easy Goer actually ran a 0 in the Met Mile on Ragozin Sheets -- a wide trip combined with giving a lot of weight away to the top 2 finishers was the reason his race was so fast.

I'd have to think it might be the fastest Ragozin ever for a 3rd place finisher of a race.

Alydar ran a faster Ragozin than Affirmed in all 3 triple crown races.

Oddly enough, several Belmont Stakes winners in the '50s and '60s also won the Met Mile. Gallant Man, Sword Dancer, Arts And Letters, and Native Dancer to name a few.

I wonder how many horses ran in all three legs of the Triple Crown and won the Met Mile in the same year.
