Horses who raced wide and have faded in the stretch in Derby have had a great subsquent record...but, it will be interesting to see how this holds up in the next few years. After Borel's latest win in 2010...maybe the wides aren't having it tough anymore.

A buddy of mine (who has recently taken up the horses) and i were having a convo about the Preakness yesterday. I pulled up your thread on closing up ground in the Derby and his eyeballs shot out of his skull. His first two questions were, and i quote, "Who's Calzone Lord? and How the hell does he compile this data?"
I told him there's plenty of more info like that to be had here. Needless to say, you've gathered yourself another fan. He texted me tonight thanking me for putting him down with the site.
