Given the deep states obsession with symbology and that Justify breaks the near 140 year old “Apollo curse” (a sun god reference) it is interesting...

Oh yes, I had forgotten about Apollo Curse. Adds a little more interest to be sure.

For those, like me, who don't keep up with the Kentucky Derby and don't know what the Apollo Curse is. From the Kentucky Derby website, written before this year's race:

The Apollo Curse is simply a long-standing trend bettors believe justifies not backing any horse in the Kentucky Derby that was unraced as a two-year-old. It stems from the fact that no unraced juvenile has won the Derby since Apollo, way back in 1882.
