Derby Fields
I was curious to see how the fields of the past few Derbies have done after the Derby. For the most part, the most successful and durable were the horses who switched to turf after the Derby. The Iron Horse of them all is Imawildandcrazyguy with 31 starts since 2007 (Storm Treasure also has 31, but he has had more time to do it).
I listed mostly their highlights and the number that appears in parenthesis is their number of starts since the Derby. 2009 Mine That Bird - still in training; hasn't won since Pioneerof the Nile - retired after Preakness Musket Man - 3rd Preakness; worked 11/27/09 Papa Clem - (4) mid-pack finishes in Stakes Chocolate Candy - 9th Belmont, 2nd El Cojon, 5th Goodwood, 8th BC Mile Summer Bird - won Travers, JCGC, Belmont; 2nd Haskell; 4th BC Classic Join In The Dance - (4) last BC Sprint Regal Ransom - won Super Derby; 8th BC Classic West Side Bernie - Dubai?

There are some nice horses in the 2009 crop. It's just that most of them didn't make the Derby field.
