This is something I keyed upon when looking at AP and Dort compared to Real Quiet, Silver Charm, and even War Emblem. Wrote about it in my write-up.
Baffert's three Derby winners have all had three works on the CD strip, and his four ITM finishers have all had at least two. Dortmund will have had none. Make of this what you will, but Baffert has generally sent his horses to CD early, and in fact from his 20+ starters has only had two that stayed at SA all the way: Point Determined and Bob and John, both in 2006. Neither were close to threatening.
