These splits look like a Turf race. This is why I call this a weird derby.

Looking at past derby's you usually had 4 to 6 horses trying to make a move on the turn, which would put more pressure on the 6 f to 1 mile split. Maybe they slowed down on the Turn and nobody challenged it. The jocks may have gotten away with something.

I am not ready to give Barbaro the Triple Crown yet, but I would like to see how some of these horses run back at another track before passing judgment on his super horse ability.
