Yeah, it's a small sample size, but there seems to be a pattern emerging.
Candidate(s) for this year's top spot:
Essental Quality
Rock Your World
Helium
Exceptions:
2019 - Maximum Security (undefeated) (DQ'd)
2020 - the Derby was run later in the year when other 3YOs catch up to the early bloomers.
