Closing Fractions - nothing has become more overrated in regards to the KY Derby

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I think the main point they are missing is that the KY Derby is always going to be at least a true paced race - and sometimes an insanely fast paced race.

If you are finishing very strongly in your preps - you're probably going to have to run a whole lot faster early on in the Derby.

The same goes with workouts ... horses who enter the Derby off of crazy fast published workouts have a very good record.
