Out of 43 derbies, 10 favs won hitting at about 23%

That's a little better than I thought, 3 in the last 10 years. The problem with this is that, the favorite you bet at post time, may or may not be the final favorite, due to the after post odds drops, or vice versa, you may be on the 2nd or 3rd fav at post and it finishes as the favorite. Like I said, I wouldn't bet a favorite, to win only, in the Derby, under gunfire.
