With that in mind it would be interesting to see how the avg time for the field compared to previous fields.

Why don’t you run that analysis and then let us know if it was a waste of time. (Hint: mud).

Bold Ruler was Secretariat's sire, either is arguably America's greatest race horse. The people where my daughter's horse boards owned an eventer (dressage, stadium jumping, cross country) that was through the Bold Ruler line, phenomenally talented but otherwise just an asshole. All she wanted to do was compete and was happy to do so with or without a rider on its back. My daughter's coach sold her, said it was the most athletic horse she ever owned and was successful competing in local circles, but didn't want to be killed by her. She generally keeps track of horses that she's sold or otherwise came through her farm-not this one.

No Triple Crown winner this year.
Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty will not race in the Preakness
There will be no Triple Crown winner in horse racing this year.
Sovereignty, the three-year-old thoroughbred who won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, will not race in the Preakness Stakes – the second leg of the three races that make up the Triple Crown – after it was announced the colt will instead focus on the Belmont Stakes.
“We received a call today from trainer Bill Mott that Sovereignty will not be competing in the Preakness,” Mike Rogers, executive vice president of 1/ST, which operates the Preakness, said in a statement Tuesday.
“We extend our congratulations to the connections of Sovereignty and respect their decision.”
The Preakness Stakes is set to run on May 17 at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.
Sovereignty won the 151st running of the Derby, finishing ahead of 18 other horses on a muddy track at the Churchill Downs Racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky.
On Sunday, Mott said that Sovereignty had a scrape on his right front pastern, which is above the hoof, but that it wasn’t serious. Mott said it likely was from clipping heels with another horse when exiting the gate.
“I believe we want to do what’s best for the horse,” Mott said to reporters Sunday, as options were continuing to be weighed. “Normally, of course, you always think about a Triple Crown, and that’s not something that we’re not going to think about.”
The last winner of the Triple Crown was Justify in 2018.
