I'm almost positive Skywalker won wire-to-wire

Black Tie Affair went wire-to-wire and earned one of the all-time fastest Beyers in the history of the race

Ghostzapper went wire-to-wire and earned jointly the all-time fastest figure in the history of this race.

You have to remember though, there was no BC Dirt Mile in years past, and the cheap speed horses who run in the Classic each year would have gone in that race if there had been.
