Coming into the Derby - only 7 horses have won the SA Derby and then
won the KD. I found that fact -- but somehow it doesn't seem right
to me. Somebody here will know for sure.

How many horses won the KY Derby who also ran in the Santa Anita Derby but did not win? Giacomo, Charismatic, Real Quiet, Silver Charm and Ferdinand all come to mind.
