30 years ago, a horse called Dr. Devious ran in the Kentucky Derby, sitting in the back early before passing 8-9 horses including the heavy favorite Arazi to split the field.
In his next race, Dr. Devious won the Epsom Derby over the very good Virignia Kraft Payson colt St. Jovite.
In today's Kentucky Derby, a horse called Tiz the Bomb ran a similar race to Dr. Devious.
Will history repeat itself?
Quite possibly. The 3yo crop in Britain this year is a bit weak and the current favorite Luxembourg has an injury of unknown severity.
Plus, Tiz the Bomb's whipping boy, Stolen Base, won the American Turf today flattering his earlier turf/synthetic form. He also ran in the BC Juvenile Turf, a race that has surprisingly produced 2 Epsom Derby winners in just a 15-year history.
