Derby Angles
I haven't seen somerfrost around in a while, but he's usually the first to post his list of a dozen (or so) Derby angles. Does anybody still have that list anywhere?

Three syllable names. Can be two words, three words, or just one, but three syllable names have dominated the Derby since the mid-80s.

I just did some more "research". There hasn't been an "E" winner since Exterminator in 1918. No wonder Easy Goer couldn't get it done!
Northern Dancer (1964) was the last "N" and Omaha (1935) was the last "O". Needles was the only other "N" in the entire history of the Derby. If the "B" curse is broken again, I'll start touting the "N" curse. Or maybe I'll look for "double qualifiers", namely, a horse whose 2-part name begins with both "N" and "B". Hint: I'm not a big fan of either dosage or the RAN curse. --Dunbar

If you don't play "angles" on a $5000 Mcl, why would you worry about them for the Derby? The best way to make a profit on the Derby is to cap it like you would any other race.
Trust your skills as a capper......not some crazy "angles." After all.....didn't one of the "angles" have something to do with it being impossible to win off a 5-week layoff? How did that one turn out?
