The list of Derby winners since 2000 is an eye opener. I agree the demands placed on a young horse to win this race often stress that individual.
But having won the big one, there is a lot of pressure to not tarnish the individual. He reached the pinnacle - the amount to be gained by continuing to race diminishes, at least to some extent.
The horse is a winning Lotto ticket. Who wants to (or can) wait? Off to the stud farm.
