  • Rule #5 - Record Over Distance - A top overall record is much more important than victories at the Marathon distance.
  • Rule #6 - Age Matters - Discount chances of runners that are 7-years-old or older.  US-based 3-year-olds are also vulnerable.   
  • Rule #10 - Speed Need Not Apply -  There have been only 3 runnings of this race, but only 1 speed horse has hit the superfecta.
