Gronkowski came in 2nd and was one of the long shots, Hofburg came in 3rd.

Baffert won the Triple Crown with American Pharoah three years.  There had not been a Triple Brown winner in nearly 40 years prior to that victory.

The track was baked dry by sunny skies and 80-degree weather. Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Justify won the first two legs on sloppy tracks.
