This is how the computer surmized that POTN was going to win the Derby: It took the overall derby commentary by all experts and analyzed the text, sorted out the names of the horses and the number of times they were mentioned, then took the horse that had been mentioned to win the most number of times. And since Jon White mentioned POTN 240 million times in the last 2 months, he was declared the winner. The computer also determined that Andy Beyer has the capability to be a arrogant pompous ass.
