I hope Pioneerof the Nile finishes 21st in the Derby.

Does John White ever stop to breathe when he is talking on the show?

I guess you have to give him credit for taking a stand. It is one thing predicting a Derby winner in March, but he is going on record that the colt can win the Triple Crown.

can the west coast horses all finish in the lower half of the derby field?

Steve,

We need the Sirius radio to scroll "Pioneerof the Nile" on the display while John is talking next week.

It's starting to remind me of those "Subliminal Man" skits on Saturday Night Live:

"I'd like to make a bet"-Pioneerof the Nile -" on the Derby" -Pioneerof the Nile -"Wow, 20 horses?" -Pioneerof the Nile -"Who's giving me good odds"-Pioneerof the Nile...

All in fun buddy. Love the show.

Joe

I always heard john say "the last horse to win the derby without racing at 2 was Apollo back in 1882." I have tried to find how how many horses have actually raced in the derby without running a race at 2 years old.

I have to assume this sample size is rather small, but does anyone have the research for this?

I think I read somewhere that 44 have tried. I am sure that someone can give you specifics
