Profile of a Derby Winner

[Mike]

I like it , Drugs. I used a similar line of reasoning for Derby 3 year olds :





{THE KENTUCKY DERBY HANDICAPPING BIBLE

REQUIREMENTS
Shall have won or been a close second (less than three lengths) in a mile and an eighth Graded stakes race
Received a Beyer speed figure of 105+ in a route race
Has not had longer than 4 weeks off
Has had three( or more) races at three
Raced as a 2 y.o.

SECONDARY CONSIDERATIONS
Has not been recently ill or having physical problems
Runs on or close to the pace}




I find that the addition of synthetic tracks has really screwed up my system, as the Beyers for synth are always lower than dirt, so can't be used with any confidence for inclusion or exclusion
