So the only horse we can chuck on dosage is Nehro? That's a really precise system that dosage.

Horses in recent years have demonstrated the ability to win despite falling outside traditional guidelines regarding DI, of more interest to me is the remaining fact that no horse with fewer than 16 points in his/her DP has won since Middleground in 1950. This applies to 8 runners.

Wow, that seems to be a pretty powerful trend!

The only thing is if one goes back 10 more years to 1940 - the rule still holds except for Count Fleet in 1943 with a 0-2-1-1-0. And we all know what kind of stud he was......
