I don't know total winners, but a DRF article says that Tim Tam was the last to do so in 1958.

85/50 giving 4 pounds breaking outside and could bolt at any point. Not a solid fave.

I need Pleasant Prince to get there so my future bets have a glimmer of hope.


Was it Don't Get Mad that ran 4th after running in the Derby Trial?

I'm pretty certain he got 4th just not certain he ran in the Derby Trial before running in the Derby

85 is better off outside horses
more cushion between him and the inside rail
maybe he won't be staring at the infield the whole race

He won the Derby Trial by 7. There are a few similarities between 05 and this years derby so I was just checking out the 05 pps.

I have not seen the pp, has Miner's Reserve been training forward? He looks interesting in this spot.

He had very quick workout the other day. A 1/2 mile in :46 flat I think.

Don't Get Mad also finished in the top 50 in earnings that year.
