Something I didn't realize about this year's Derby, all of the horses were descendants of the great Secretariat.

With that in mind it would be interesting to see how the avg time for the field compared to previous fields.

Why don’t you run that analysis and then let us know if it was a waste of time. (Hint: mud).

Bold Ruler was Secretariat's sire, either is arguably America's greatest race horse. The people where my daughter's horse boards owned an eventer (dressage, stadium jumping, cross country) that was through the Bold Ruler line, phenomenally talented but otherwise just an asshole. All she wanted to do was compete and was happy to do so with or without a rider on its back. My daughter's coach sold her, said it was the most athletic horse she ever owned and was successful competing in local circles, but didn't want to be killed by her. She generally keeps track of horses that she's sold or otherwise came through her farm-not this one.
