Cool I just hit a $50 win bet, a $20 exacta, and a $5 trifecta......I'll take it.

You collect $524.

What was your total wager?

And where are you taking me for dinner?

I just don't think Omaha or Assault could really hang with this field. That being said, I'm pretty certain Slew would be pressing the lead a lot more closely.

Speaking of Omaha, I never realized how seldomly Gallant Fox actually ran. Only 17 starts back in the late 20's through early 30's. That is Ghostzapper like, 70 years earlier.

Omaha gets little respect but the guy went to England and I believe he won two of four against their best...on the grass! Always there, always gave an honest effort and then some! I would never leave a horse like him out of my exotics...can't see him winning but he'd be running his heart out in the stretch and, given the presumed pace of a race like this, he would certainly be passing a lot of tired ones late. He's the kind of horse you love to back, as was Assault...but I think he was indeed a step behind these!

Secretariat wins by 10. A four way photo for the minor placings between the normal great horses Affirmed, Slew, Citation, and Count Fleet.
