[Dunbar]

more angles:

No "A" horse has won in 20 years.
Just 2 "B" horses have won in past 71 years.
No "D" horse has won in 36 years.
No "E" horse has won in 71 years.
No "F" horse has won in 21 years.
No "H" horse has won in 54 years.
Just one "I" horse has won the Derby in 133 years. (and it was because of Shoemaker's mistake!)
No "J" horse has won in 67 years.
Just 2 "K" horses have won the Derby, but none in 40 years.
Just 2 "N" horses have won the Derby; none in 50 years. (so toss out No Biz)
Just 2 "O" horses have won the Derby; none in 71 years.
Just 1 "U" horse has won the Derby
Just 1 "V" horse has won the Derby; none in 46 years.
Just 1 "X","Y",or "Z" horse has won the Derby; none in 83 years.

And, on the plus side:
"G" horses have won 3 of the last 13 runnings.
17 "S" horses have won the Derby, including 3 TC winners and 5 of the last 17 winners.

Boy, it's going to be easy this year. Looks like a Superfecta with Street Sense, Scat Daddy, Stormello and Great Hunter. The fact that Street Sense fails the 3-syllable test is offset by the fact that he has 2 starting "S"'s in his name. Think Seattle Slew and Sunday Silence.
