Also ... Any Given Slowpoke had an absolutely brutal trip in the race. He broke from post #18 and was EXTREMELY wide on both turns over a track that I believe was at least a borderline gold rail... and I think he also got bumped very hard going into the far turn.
That was his form going into his final career start. He and stablemate Lawyer Ron both were beaten a pole in the slop at very short prices. His 4.5 length Haskell win was over both Hard Spun and Curlin.
