At a bit of a loss concerning how to work out this Derby.

There's one horse that clearly fastest, but it might be going in the wrong direction. It's not quite 0-2-X, but if it were an 0-1.5-?

Then there are 5 between 1.25 and 2.75. Those sheets look like they could move forward, but wouldn't be shocked for any to pair or go back. 8 more horses have a 3 in a route.

A ground-saving 2 could very well win this thing, which puts 14 horses in the mix with only modest improvement and a trip. And there are four more with a 4, which is a number coming in that's crossed the line first before. Oh, and a 5 going poly to dirt by a classic winning sire. Some of these are going to be very big prices to boot. Only a handful of throw outs from a super that could pay 6 figs?

A couple of these are also bounce candidates, but the draw and a closer look at horses that maybe like running wide is the only way I see leaving the window with the kids' college fund intact.
