13 in that field, but a race I hadn't seen on video before:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1immmAJSubw http://news.google.com/newspapers?ni...g=5443,1948469 Some interesting stats in those newspaper clippings: - It was the first time the Derby winner skipped the Belmont since 1970; and - Largest field for the Belmont was 14 in 1875 |

I think I'm going to favor the early speed types, even with a large field.
Grabbing disease is everywhere. Even if it isn't, Oxbow is a tough horse and the pace will not be as fast as the Derby. |
