Point one is meaningless. Most of the Storm Cats had no business being in the Derby, and as far as him not showing up in any winner's pedigree, look at Mr. Prospector.

He was born in 1970, and his first descendant to win was in 1990, with Unbridled. Next one was in 1995. Now it's common.

As to point two, sixteen of the last seventeen winners have Native Dancer in their blood. Only the awful Giacomo doesn't.
