Since TV sports coverage is always looking for the angle, the feel good story or the back story how about this to explain why the 1st two horses under the wire would/should/could be
Game Winner and Maximum Security.
Last year's Belmont, Florent Geroux rode the Gary and Mary West entry Restoring Hope like a sprinter arguably to aid the chances of Justify to get the Triple Crown.
"Gary West, who owns Restoring Hope, was livid about the handling of his horse.
“I have no earthly idea what Florent was thinking or what his race strategy was,” he said in an email response to a request for an interview. “Had I known better, the first eighth of a mile I would have thought it was a quarter-horse race, not the mile-and-a-half Belmont. Maybe the horse was completely out of control and Florent had no choice. I will never know.”"

So Karma says G n M West are owed big time, how to pay them back karmickly? Have their horse(s) pull off the double with a pretty fair paying Exacta. Both look like pretty good contenders in this wide open Derby and would be quite a story moving forward.
I will be wagering on that Exacta Box.
just saying........
