Ok, needed something to kill some time since I don't want to watch the local news coverage of the game tonight.

It's a long time from Dec. to may was I was curious how many horses have preformed well in Dec. and still run big in May. Secondly I was interested in seeing how many of the winners were able to pair up big efforts.

Of the derby entries since 2000, only eight horses ran a 1 or better as a 2-year old:
[b]Normandy Invasion[/b] - (1),1,1,3,1,5 that 1 coming in Nov. 4th
[b]Mucho Macho Man[/b] (-1)2,3,4,0,4 zero coming in Nov. finished 3rd
[b]Jackson Bend[/b] (8)2,4,2,0,5 with zero in Oct. finished 12th
** Eight Belles (0)1,1,0,1,7 with 1 in Jan. kind of interesting finish 2nd
[b]Pyro[/b] (5)10,2,3,-1,3 with -1 coming in Oct. finished 8th
[b]Street Sense[/b] (-2)2,1,-2,5,6 with the -2 in the BC in Nov. won
Hard Spun (-1)1,2,2,2,4,8 with that first 2 in Dec. similar finished 2nd
[b]Scat Daddy[/b] (14)0,1,4,5,1,5 with that 1 in Oct. finished 18
[b]High Limit[/b] (24)1,1,2,1 with that 1 in Oct. finished last
[b]Smarty Jones[/b] (-1)-1,-3,0,0,0,5 with that 2nd start in Nov. being the zero

All of these were pretty nice horse. Surprised there wasn't more entries with a big 2-year old fig. Guess my decision is if CC is more like Smarty or more like High Limit?
