Default 70's East VS West Derby Match-ups

The top 7 finishers in this years Kentucky Derby all had their N2X ALW condition coming into the race. Each of the three classic winners had their N2X ALW condition coming into their classic win.

From the Lousianna Derby through the Preakness - a stretch of 16 straight favorites failed to win in 3yo open Graded Stakes races at a mile or more on either dirt or synthetic.

Not only was this years 3yo crop like Big Brown's crop minus Big Brown himself - but - the form of Derby perps and the entire triple crown series itself was more chaotic than any year in history.

There were 2 or 3 shitty 3yo crops in the 1970's - but not these years. Here are forms prior to the four classic match-ups.

'79: Spectacular Bid VS Flying Paster:






'78: Affirmed VS Alydar:

If not for #3 - I believe I was primed for a strong run at 'Best New Troll of 2011' - it's one award that has always eluded me.
