Also, results for Ameribelle (Medaglia d'Oro), Danceyoursocksoff (Pleasantly Perfect), Pearl of Valor (Medaglia d'Oro), and Da Bear Facts (Congaree); and entries for Pick's Express (Speightstown) and Stone Legacy (Birdstone).

Curly was pushed wide, wide, wider than Big Brown in the Derby (officially 7 wide). Amazingly, Curly kept coming and coming.
