Last I checked - it wasn't called the Wood Memorial Invitational.


Very cheap first-time-starter Olympic Chief for Janet Davidson was 50.30-to-1 against Curlin in the Arkansas Derby .. after opening up at about 20/1.

Rick's Natural Star was 56-to-1 after a year plus layoff in the Breeders Cup Turf after running dead last in 3 consecutive 2,500 claiming races at Ruidoso Downs.

This horse would have been under 100/1.
Still better when they allowed the rabbit in the Breeders Cup to be uncoupled.
