I believe Bernardini debuted in Jan--only managing a 4th, and didn't break his maiden until March....had he run in the Derby, does anyone sane really believe he'd have run worse than 2nd?

Every year, you hear all these trends leading into the Derby---and they are presented as if they really matter....they don't.

How many seriously good horses who've had 3 or fewer starts in the Derby, or have debuted as late as Feb, have run in the Ky Derby? You'll have enough fingers to count them on.
