AWD sire and bms
Here are the last 7 derby winners with their sires AWD and BMS AWD in that order:
California Chrome---------6.4----- 6.5
Orb-------------------------7.0----- 7.8
Ill Have Another-----------7.3- ----7.7
Animal Kingdom-----------6.9---- 10.4
Super Saver---------------7.0------ 8.2
Mine That Bird-------------6.6------7.4
Big Brown------------------7.0------7.9
Street Sense---------------7.0------7.1
Barbaro--------------------8.3-------6.4
I had trouble finding Giacomo and Smarty Jones so I stopped with 2006 (Barbaro). One could say that 6 of the last 7 fit this pattern of an increase from the sire to bms and the bms has to be at least 7.3. There are exceptions to every rule but the above does seem to indicate a pattern.
