It was a great field.
Awesome Again was part of an entry with Coronado's Quest (that years Haskell and Travers winner) and Touch Gold (who won the Belmont Stakes and Haskell at age 4)
Think about that, 4.7-to-1 odds on a trio that included Awesome Again in search of a perfect season + Coronado's Quest (10-for-15 lifetime and a multiple Grade 1 winner going into the race) + Touch Gold
