The only thing that will suprise me at this pt. is if I manage to have the winner on derby day. This year seems impossible...

Hey what about this angle: Wasnt there a wind bias at TB on Sat? Wisdom is that it should help closers as it was head wind on the back stretch and tail wind on the home stretch. It did appear that way on the filly race two races back.

Not so sure if it played the same way in the TB Dby, but if it did, then it would seem AGS was working against the bias and SS was aided by it.

I should actually look at a chart of all the horses before drawing any such conclusion. You can often get better information by looking at how the also rans ran, despite being out of it, they can still tell you something.

Anyone else have any thoughts on the wind bias in all this?
