![]() '41: Kentucky Derby:
![]() '43: Kentucky Derby: ![]() '41: $1,250 CLM Route: ![]() '43: $2,000 CLM Route: ![]() Whirlaway's raw final time was 22 points faster than Count Fleet's. However, I had the '41 track 13 points faster in routes than the '43 track. Whirlaway's Derby was 122. Count Fleet's Derby was 113. Whirlaway's Derby certainy held up well: 2nd place finisher Staretor (111) returned to So. Cal after the Ky Derby and finished first in his next 3 starts - including a Hollywood Derby win at 10fs - before an injury sidelined him. 3rd place finisher Market Wise (110) came into the Derby 4-for-4 lifetime in routes - and was a last out Wood Memorial winner. He was later a champion older male. 4th place finisher Porter's Cap (107) won the Santa Anita Derby by 4 lengths - and was a easy last out winner of the Chesapeake Stakes in his Eastern prep for the Derby 5th place finisher Little Beans (105) was 11-7-2-1 lifetime - and his one off the board finish was the result of a DQ in a race he finished first. Flamingo winner Dispose finished 6th - last out 6 length winner of the Blue Grass Our Boots finished 8th.
