So four horses who have moderate tactical speed in February might be in the gate, and that's enough to declare that the Derby pace will be very fast and thus we should throw out said horses? Got it.

Since we are forecasting the Derby pace this early, does anyone want to take a crack at forecasting the weather on Derby Day?

Long-term forecast says a 30 percent chance of precipitation. Let me quick check out the wet track Tomlinson numbers for the 300 plus horses nominated for the Triple Crown.
