Interesting that of the 3 'faster' races, 2 came in sprints: San Vincente and Hutch.

by preps do you mean the two races they run before the derby months apart?

Good stuff, DrugS. I've been arguing elsewhere that there's good reason for the "All Others" in Pools 1 & 2 to be lower odds than other years, aside from the fact that the odds will naturally be depressed after producing 2 straight years of Derby winners.
IMO, your data shows that an All Others horse this year hasn't got to do as much to be in the thick of it compared to last year. --Dunbar
