In pool 4 of the ky derby futures here are the only horses that fit the above pattern:
Horse---------Sire AWD-----------Broodmare Sire AWD
Amis Flatter-----6.9--------------------7.6
Dubai Sky-------6.9--------------------7.8
Far From Over--7.2--------------------8.2
Frosted----------7.4--------------------7.6
Madefromlucky-6.9--------------------7.6
Mubtaahij-------8.6--------------------8.8
War Story------6.7--------------------7.6
This does not mean you cannot win the roses if you do not fit the above pattern. All it means is that 10 of the last 16 Derby winners did fit this pattern.
A similar result occurs in the BC Classic with the above pattern.

no Dortmund, American Pharaoh, Upstart, or Carpe Diem very intersting... think we are due for another long shot to win the derby this year.. Mubtaahij is intriguing. really want to see how he runs this week. smooth running horse
