This year the Derby comes as early as it can .. thee actual
first Day of May ... Some horses only have 3 weeks to recover
from last weekend's races. I dont know if that will make a
difference .. just a thought in passing .. Also Almost every
winner in the recent past....has worked over the track..with
a 5 Furlong work ! Check it out... It is now only 17 days till
the race. I firmly believe that the Early date will make a vast
difference with some horses... I just dont know which ones LOL

The date is early, but the spacing between the races is exactly the same. I don't see it have any effect.

Recent winners last raced:
Funny Cide-3 weeks
War Emblem-4 weeks
Monarchos-3 weeks
Fusaichi Pegasus-3 weeks
Charasmatic-2 weeks
Real Quiet-4 weeks

Doesn't really seem to matter, I would think it depends on the horse.

Seems like greatly improving horses in the last couple of races are a big key! Hot, top of cycle, peak condition, whatever it is.
