The horses who raced 19th and 20th early on in last years Derby - finished 1st and 4th.
4th place finisher Imawildandcrazyguy just ran 3rd in a small stake at Tampa today.
All things being equal, I'd prefer a closing style in the Derby.
Excellent point and another step in the road to convincing people that they needn't be overly concerned with closers in the Derby as only around three of the last 17 were won by horses on the pace.
