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

I assume you meant "Touch Gold (who won the Belmont Stakes and Haskell) at age 4."
I didn't really remember much about his 4yo form for some reason so I had to refresh my memory. Did he have foot issues that year as well? Not like he had to be ashamed of being anywhere in that Classic field, but he got his start just before July and had a loan GSP in a 4 horse field.
