Even if you accept the delusion that Rockport Harbor was an exceptionally talented horse, he had exactly the wrong running style for the 2005 Kentucky Derby, and would have gotten drowned.

You have the right race, the right odds and the first time blinkers.. but... it wasnt Montreal Red, it was Wild Escapade. Montreal Red was about 3-5 in the Hopeful that year and finished second...

Sir Gaylord, injured before the 1962 Derby. I don't thing Buckpasser or Dr.Fager ran in their derbies either.

Not necessarily horses that would have won, but some who would have had a fighting chance:

'88- Cherokee Colony
'89- Prized
'90- Roanoke
'91- Olympio, Compelling Sound, Scan
'92- A.P. Indy, Bertrando
'93- Peteski, Miner's Mark, Colonial Affair, Strolling Along
