Comment’s on this year’s Derby data:
- Always Dreaming’s 123 TimeformUS Speed Figure is slightly ahead of the 5-yr average of 121.2. It’s the same figure we gave I’ll Have Another for his win 2012.
- Like Nyquist last year, Always Dreaming’s 1/2 mile pace figure was extremely fast by our standards. Always Dreaming ran a 149 to the 1/2 mile, akin to Nyquist’s 150 at the same call last year.
- This year’s Derby Pace was fast, as predicted by our Pace Projector, but not as fast as last year’s. Last year’s 1/2 mile leader Danzing Candy ran a 162 TimeformUS Pace Figure while opening a 4-length lead. In the 2017 Derby, State of Honor ran a 152 Pace Figure while leading Always Dreaming by a length.
