The youngsters here forget how much easier it was to identify the good horses going into the Derby in the 1970s and 80s. They ran 4,5,6 races before the Derby - 3 at a minimum - and tended to have proper 2yo campaigns before that. After 10 or more starts, the wheat tended to be pretty obvious, and the chaff could be dismissed from consideration.
