Final Standings
The Run of the Black-Eyed Analysts lives up to its billing!

Little Tuna, his last challenger, was down by 10 points, 1st and ten on the 25 yard-line, and according to one win probability calculator had only a 6.4% chance of winning the Preakness. But, the World Football Trifecta deities intervened, and the winner is….
