Today’s video lede is of the last Preakness we attended in person — 30 years ago now! — in the hot, sweaty, beery Pimlico infield. Hansel was one of those universally beloved overlays that nearly every bettor of the value-oriented persuasion fondly recalls collecting on. How does he pay $20.20 to win? The perfect hindsight price! Hope you had him!
Also, many happy returns today to young Samuel Alexander Mitchell.
