It helps to be good, it helps even more to get an opening at the right time and to not be taken out by others in the field. The winner is often a flash of opportunity, right time, right place, by the end of last year Nyquist was an after thought and that's not the only year that has happened. If one puts all their eggs in one basket, its a good recipe for getting burnt in the derby. Realizing that the hype and expectations often does not coincide with the result is half the battle.

Have to disagree. The KD presents the greatest single race opportunity for a life changing score. Take a stand, and live with the results. I have turned major scores into minor ones too often by hedging my bets. The KD is no time to take an "interim position".
