Thanks for the heads up, great show. Love the long tail strategy by Jones/Wright, have not seen many use that today but like the idea. What a closer, his Preakness was 'Zenyatta like', tongue firmly in cheek, when he walked out of the gate and mowed them down on the far turn.

In 1941 they also said it was only one week between the Derby and Preakness, not sure on the Preakness to Belmont. Wonder when it was changed to current spacing?
Only horse to win all four three year old classics with his Travers win. Derby winning time record held for 21 years, one great horse.
