Thankfully last year the top two (Pirates Deputy and Birdbirdistheword) didn't press on for the Derby even though they could have got in. Hopefully if these two aren't in form in May they will make the same decision. It is just a matter of time though before some horse runs top two in this race, can't even hit the board in any races as a 3yo and still presses on to the Derby while an impressive allowance winner that goes on to run a tough luck second in the Wood is left out.
