All 13 Triple Crown Winners will enter the starting gate on a computer based program....

With apologies to TVG's Dave Weaver, I'll take an ICE-COLD EXACTA of Secretariat to Citation.

Hard to leave Citation out of any wager.
What data points are they drawing from...overall career...or entering the Derby etc.
Seattle Slew should be taking out the speed.

Thanks for sharing, BOMZEE.

At about 1:40 of the video comes the classic line, "He (Secretariat) is moving like a tremendous machine."

Chills.

Pharaoh Justified and Secretariat tri box would be the actual outcome, that won’t be the artificial result they come up with though.

Most rating systems score Pharoah ahead of Justify.

Interesting note: Justify weighed about 100 pounds more than Pharoah.

Baffert compared Justify to freaky-athletic NBA player LeBron James.

Hard to believe Justify's six lifetime starts came over a 112-day period.

Will there be jockeys in this simulation? They are certainly an important part of the outcome of any race, rating a horse or trying for the lead, finding a hole to go through. If so, their regular riders presumably. What if the same jockey was the regular rider of more than one horse? But none are listed.

Regular riders...in this simulation a jockey can be on both horses....they are listed on another forum...

Nice call by Gabe observing from the paddock.... Secretariat, nice shiny red coat, well nurished, alert. Looks like a winner.
