What's interesting about this Derby is that very few of the top contenders have the "correct foundation" for a Derby winner. Curlin's raced three times, Street Sense and Great Hunter only had two preps, Circular Quay is off eight weeks, Hard Spun's off six. The more traditional routes have been by Any Given Saturday, Nobiz Like Shobiz and Scat Daddy.
