    An 80 to 1 longshot wins the Derby -- what are the odds?!
    I see also TAWNYPORT, without Derby cluing. ... Is there a mechanism about the finish places or something, or does that stuff just point us to the race?
    Thanks, Bird!

      That clue was a mistake. The puzzle was a rush job, obviously, and when I was doing the clues, I saw an actual phrase, forgot that it was a horse's name, and wrote the clue. I'll change it if I can. Thanks for the heads up.
