We haven't had back to back Triple Crown winners since Seattle Slew ('77) & Affirmed ('78) for those of you on this board old enough to remember. So,

Two horses died in the earlier races. One won the race.

The Preakness is usually the easiest jewel for Triple Crown contenders, not this year. Watch Nyqvist's connections skip the Belmont. Midway on the turn to the home stretch Exaggerator looked like the only horse running. For all you racing fans (If there are any left) watch a replay of Secretariat's Preakness, he was last out of the gate and on the clubhouse turn took off by himself and took the lead without jockey Ron Turcotte lifting a finger.

If you weren't allowed to gamble on horse racing, it wouldnt exist.
