This was published in DRF prior to the Kentucky Derby. The article discusses
using the Average Winning Distance of sires, dams and their produce to identify
runners who will (or should) get the Derby distance.
I am imagining the same methodology might be helpful in the Belmont; unfortunately
none of the new shooters in the Belmont are covered here, except to the extent
that their sires were included in the Derby study. Do not know if DRF will revisit
this before the Belmont Stakes.
Note that the statistics had Instilled Regard, by Arch, as being right at the top
of the list of Derby runners most likely to succeed at the distance; IR was the
runner who added spice to the Derby super.
