The Pimlico Special may be best known for the 1938 match race where Seabiscuit defeated 1937 Triple Crown winner War Admiral. Feeling a bit nostalgic? You can watch the race and hear the classic call on YouTube.

Nine horses were entered today for the Special, led by 5-2 program favorite A.P. Arrow, trained by Todd Pletcher. Second choice at 3-1 is Grasshopper, who ran a narrow second to 2007 Derby winner Street Sense in last summer's Grade I Travers at Saratoga.

Also in are Wanderin Boy, at 7 the elder statesman of the group, from Hall of Famer Nick Zito; Grade I million-dollar winner Student Council; and Xchanger, last year's Preakness pacesetter who faded to eighth and is the only horse in he field with a win over the track.

1. Ryan's For Real (Dale Capuano, Erick Rodriguez), 10-1; 2. Gottcha Gold (Eddie Plesa, C.C. Lopez), 9-2; 3. Student Council (Steve Asmussen, Shaun Bridgmohan), 6-1; 4. A.P.
