Well it was a much deeper field of dirt horses on a dirt surface. You had a Japanese runner which surely attracted some extra attention from our Asian friends. You didn't have a gate scratch of one of the choices like you did last year. AND you had a bad favorite to wager against. Not to mention it was back in KY where the handle is always higher.
