Hell, he could finish way back, but how can you throw out MTB in tri boxes?

I don't know the numbers but how many of those derby winners were 50-1 shots that seemingly came out of nowhere?

Giacomo certainly came out of nowhere and Charismatic and War Emblem were big prices too. I actually like Mine That Bird today. I know the wedding/funeral rule, but considering the field, I think 6-1 or so is still good value.

Oh and I don't understand saying Barbaro would've won the Preakness had he not broken down. Bernardini was great that day. I think it's far from "likely" that Barbaro would've beaten him.

Yep, Charismatic was over 30-1 and War Emblem was over 20. Giacomo was 50-1 and thanks to my friend of 25+ years Steve Byk, I actually got to make money on that one.

And Barbaro may not have beaten Bernardini, very true. In fact, Steve helped out that year, too, as I had a play on Bernardini which made up for losing the tribox with Barbaro.
