At one point, Dossage was very strong in the Derby. Back when only a few horses met the requirements. Nowadays, most horse meet it and it no longer has the impact.

More and more horses are coming to the Derby with less and less foundation. It is harder for an unraced 2yo to beat "seasoned three year olds, but as we get less and less experience into our 3yos, the curse will disappear. It exists due to sound reasoning, not magic.

Only a few years ago, we were concerned with a 5 week layoff going into the Derby. Today, 5 weeks is a quick turnaround.
