The Sprint seems to favor off-the-pace types most years, and I think the public is wise to it (its not hard when there's 3 or 4 confirmed frontrunners lining up against each other), hence Cherokee Run being favored. I remember thinking he was gonna be a huge price that day.
Its funny, cuz the Mile is kind of quirky nowadays, tending to favor the bridesmaid-type horses that have been showing up, but not necessarily winning all year long (eg Kip Deville, Singletary, Artie Schiller, Domedriver, etc).
