Apparently Sam Riddle was not going to run War Admiral in the Derby either but he saw that William Woodward had a father/son pair who won the Preakness/Belmont winner and they were Triple Crown winners so he decided to run War Admiral in the Derby to stick it to Woodward. Jealousy got the racing world a 4th Triple Crown winner.
