Well, with all due respect, I think you guys are dead wrong.

Has anyone else ever noticed that when a derby is shaping up to be particularly deep for a given year, as we get nearer to the race the race starts to fall apart with injuries?

hey you shouldnt be upset... you are going to get high odds on Summer Bird (if he is under 30-1 you should pass on him though) where dunkirk will be in the top three choices.

I think you're misunderstanding me. I don't fancy Summer Bird's chances in the least; I just think as a general principle betting on Derby starters with zero 2YO starts and three races under their belts is foolish in the long run.
