US stocks mixed. S&P ends the day unchange in a dead heat

The Kentucky Derby was run over the weekend, and to the naked eye seemed to be a dead heat with 3 horses hitting the finish line at the same time.

When the photo finish was shown, Mystic Dan nosed out Sierra Leon and the Japanese horse Forever Young (who traveled the farthest to race). Here is the photo finish. Very exciting.

Today, in the US stock market, the S&P had the equivalent of a dead heat after closing the day unchanged (well it was down -0.05 points which on 5187.71 is -0.00009% change).
