You've misinterpreted the data. The cutoff is 9.00, not 10.00. Therefore the only horses that are non qualifiers are Scat Daddy & Street Sense. The closer you are to 10, the better chance of lasting 10f. Any Given Saturday is weak on his female side according to Mr. Veitch's analysis, but when he presented the analysis he defended his overall 9.30 as good enough to win the Derby if the horse is up to the task. However, anyone who does not combined with the horse's ability & pace of the race into their analysis is missing the picture. It's like a year or two ago when he rated a horse very high for 10f, but he was a dead front runner in a race jammed with speed and in spite of his pedigree, in that race he stood no chance. The #s are only one part of a complex puzzle. If the game was easy, none of us would be on our way to work this morning.
