Fair enough, we will have to disagree on the souped track part. I believe other factors such as having 20 horses in a field make it very difficult for a horse to steal a race on an uncontested lead, I will agree on the part that it is difficult to wire a derby field. Historically it doesn't happen often, Go for Gin, War Emblem just a handful of horses in recent memory.
