An earlier post questioned the maturation process some horses may go through in the six weeks. I looked at the KD runners that ran in the LA derby since 2010 when it went to 9 panels. Without all the data, seems a higher percentage pair or move forward off this race than the other preps. Whether GR can make the improvement he would need, not willing to find out at less than 10-1.
