I think that Peace Rules was actually the horse that ran 2nd to Funny Cide in the Derby. I believe that Peace Rules was owned by Ed Gann.

Empire Maker ran 2nd. I had the $97 exacta. The only Derby ticket I have ever cashed except for Street Sense.

You guys are right. Peace Rules was 3rd. Empire Maker was 2nd. I'm going to have to watch the replay to refresh my memory.

I just watched the replay. Now I remember. Empire Maker caught Peace Rules in the last jump and beat him by a head.

Empire Maker was 2nd. PR was owned by Gann - he bought him after a turf victory at age 2 for Contessa I believe.

He did not run 2nd (offlee Wild)
Never stated he ran 2nd.


Robbins thought Offlee Wild was a better horse as I remember
and he actually ended up beating FC at 4 I believe.

I remember that Bruce posted a few times back when DT was a Yahoo group, and it was very nice for a horse owner to take time and give us information. He seems like a great guy and I hope this time he does win.

Offlee Wild beat Funny Cide at age 3, 4, and 5. Beat him in the Holy Bull at 3...in the Mass Cap at age 4 in a very close race...and in the Suburban at age 5.
