Look at the top 3 finishers every year, too, to show how the race often sets up. You have a BC Classic winner (Black Tie Affair), a BC Classic runner up (Pleasant Tap), a BC Classic favorite (Dispersal), a Champagne winner (Grand Slam), a BC Juvenile winner (Gilded Time), and milers like Kela, Hesabull, Crafty CT, Honour And Glory, and Lion Tamer all hitting the board. That's not including actual winners like Cherokee Run (2nd in the Preakness), Dancing Spree (Suburban winner), Silver Train, Orientate, Gulch, Smile, and Precisionist all capable up to at least a mile, often further.
