The Derby this year is very odd with the 2, 3 and 4 start entrants. Sure makes it tough on the confidence. What a tough puzzle.



One "theory" is to use a horse's speed figures as he stretches out in distance: If those figures get better, from 1 mile to 1 1/16 miles to 1/8 miles, then chances are that he will be a good bet going 1 1/4 miles (in the Derby).
