What do you mean? I already explained to you why it matters. It would be VERY unusual for a horse to win the Derby after switching silks. It hardly ever happens. You better factor this into your handicapping strategy.
It is a shame, because if he was using the same silks as he did in the Arkansas Derby, he may have had a chance.

I know, I have noticed that a lot of these horses don't even seem to be aware of the "angles" working against them. What ignorant beasts.
