Default Derby thoughts...

The first 4 finishers never raced on a synthetic track.
11 of the 20 horses either had a steadied or took up remark in the result charts. Wonder why Dutrow wanted the 20 hole?

Beg to differ. Both observations were worth noting.

Maybe, but the first one is apparent to anyone who knows the result of the race, and the second one is pretty much the case in any Derby.

ateam, if you are going to demand breakthrough innovative analysis on every post, you are going to be looking at a lot of blank screens. My point was that the original post did not deserve the immediate and rude disrespect it got.
