barrelracin85 - 2014-06-04 2:22 PM Fun fact. Chrome has drawn the same post numbers as Secretariat in all 3 of the triple crown races. 5, 3, now 2. Here are the stats on post position in the Belmont: Belmont Stakes Winners By Post position Post Winners 1 23 2 11 3 13 4 9 5 13 6 7 7 11 8 5 9 3 10 2 11 2 I honestly don't know why Curly's odds dropped so much with his post. Can anyone help me figure that out?
There was nobody inside of Big Red... He drew #1 but started in the #2 slot..
I think it's the other way around drew 2 but started in 1? He ran with the number 2 on his blanket. You are right he didn't have anyone inside of him either way.
I just went back and watched the race...he was the #2 horse in the 2 hole.  The one hole in the gates was empty.  
I was going off this video http://youtu.be/vfCMtaNiMDM Commentator says as they are loading he drew 2 but was running from 1.
Go back and watch it again.  Watch to the inside of where they load him.  There is an empty post there, that is the one hole.  Would be my thinking that with the small field they just moved him out OR the horse in the one hole was a scratch.  I will go look and see if that is the case.  
I you listen to Chic Anderson' call of the race... He says Big Red drew #1 but was starting in #2.. Dunno why they did that, but it was a pretty small field..
Well, wouldn't he have had the #1 towel on?? I'm gonna go watch again.  That is really strange.  He has the #2 saddle towel on, but they do say he loads into the post 1. I swear there is an empty hole to the inside of him.  Unless my eyes have gotten really, really bad. LOL
LOL!!! He was wearing 2 and he did load into 2.. But Anderson clearly said he drew the number 0ne post but was loading into 2.. I've watched it 110+ times..
I'm sorry... I'm wrong.. Anderson says his number is 2 but he is moving into the number one post.... But I can see another gate to his inside..

 Then I'm not going blind like I thougt I was.

Barnmom - 2014-06-05 3:58 PM Shams official PP on equibase doesn't even list the Belmont, just wondering if he was pulled up and it never counted as an official out?  He never ran officially again after that, its like that race broke his heart.  Had he been born any other year he would have most likely been a household name. 

If he left the starting gates...it's an official out and should have been a DNF.
