Your point seems very obvious, but people seem to have forgetten some fairly obvious points around here. A lot of horses that win the Derby were very good 2yo colts. Very good 2yo colts aren't often gelded. That probably has more to do with it than the fact that geldings are somehow mysteriously jinxed.
