Just keeping this on the front page...again I say, these are NOT to replace handicapping, merely to provide a tool for use by those who choose to do so! I have a good friend who I met on-line over 10 years ago, his lady is just now getting into racing, they go to River Downs and she's fallen in love with racing...I sent her these angles, for a new handicapper, they can be helpful in sifting through the massive amount of data available for the Derby.

![]() Some stats on the RAN Curse (#9)...these are dated but they are the last I have (I stopped keeping a lot of stats a few years ago)...from 1980 to 2001, 25% of all Derby starters had RAN in sire's sire line, 23% had RAN in dam's sire line....9 winners from sire line, 0 from dam line. In addition, the winner in 2002, 2003, and 2004 had RAN in sire line. So, since 1980 there have been 12 winners with RAN in sire's sire line, 1 with RAN in dam's sire line. I'm not that industrious to figure out total # of starters in the past 26 years but I assume it's over 400, 23% of 400 is 92, so we'll say at least 90 horses with RAN in dam's sire line have started with 1 win.

![]() I'm confused about #15 -- the million in earnings. Smarty Jones definitely had earned more than a million before he went for the Derby.
