El Crespo has to be the idol of all the others. Relatively speaking he's a champ.

Agreed on the first two getting the best of it- myself and a few others from DT were there that day and it was A++ speed favoring if I've ever seen a speed favoring track. A bunch of us bet Finallymadeit in the Donn because of that and he certainly gave us a thrill at 30-1.
That said, the performance of the day was in the race in between the two stakes. Warrior's Reward in his career debut came from WAY off a moderate pace at 30-1. It was somewhat of a collapsing race, but we all know what he's capable of now.
