Are you sure about that? I have listed below the number of derby winners that debuted in each month for the past fourteen years.

June 3

As it turns out June is a pretty popular month to debut a future derby winner.
Also all of the June starts were at 5 furlongs so that distance would appear to be quite useful in getting a horse to 10F. This is not a huge amount of data but it is enough to show how far off base your comment was.
