1969 saw 4 horses entered who were so strong that they scared away most of the rest of the eligibles. They were:
Top Knight - champion 2yo, won the Flamingo and the Florida Derby Majestic Prince - won Santa Anita Derby, San Jacinto S, San Vicente S (dominated So Cal) Arts and Letters - won the Everglades and Blue Grass S, second Flamingo and Florida Derby Dike - won the Gotham and Wood Memorial one of the long shots was Traffic Mark, who had won the Arkansas Derby and been second in the Blue Grass; he had won the Ky JC S at 2 as well. Only 3 others ran. Majestic Prince won the Derby and Preakness, was second in the Belmont and never ran again. Meanwhile, Belmont winner Arts and Letters (who had prepped with a Met Mile win) went on to win the Travers, Woodward and Jockey Club Gold Cup and be named Horse of the Year.
