The graphics are pretty good, but did they bother with the running style of the horses? Whirlaway came from 10-15 lengths back in both the 1941 Derby and Preakness, but they had him in the first flight in this sim.

I did like the fact that Whirlaway gave a solid bump to American Pharoah on the final turn.

Except possibly their reputations. I'm pretty bitter that Whirlaway finished behind American Pharaoh!

And poor Sir Barton.
