13 in that field, but a race I hadn't seen on video before:

Some interesting stats in those newspaper clippings:
- It was the first time the Derby winner skipped the Belmont since 1970; and
- Largest field for the Belmont was 14 in 1875

I think I'm going to favor the early speed types, even with a large field.

Grabbing disease is everywhere. Even if it isn't, Oxbow is a tough horse and the pace will not be as fast as the Derby.
