Given the size of the field, bettors needed a slide rule and a Ouija board to make any sense out of the odds. Eastern Fleet, for example, finished ninth in the Flamingo and then a few weeks later won the Florida Derby against substantially the same field. After running a woeful seventh in the Wood Memorial, Bold and Able won the Stepping Stone at Churchill Downs by three lengths. California-bred Unconscious, the betting favorite at post time, was unbeaten this year until an Eastern upstart named Jim French defeated him in the Santa Anita Derby. Impetuosity startled even...
