Ky Derby Nominees Facts

Postby George William Smith » Wed Feb 16, 2005 9:53 pm

Thanks to the posting of the 348 Ky Derby nominees on this site, I found:
The average GSV score in the field is 66.74
The median score is 66.15, which is close to Declan's Moon's 66.12.
The highest score belongs to Defer at 81.11
The lowest score belongs to Win Me Over

The average CD is 0.71
The average DI = 2.78
Only 32/348 of the nominees have a DI over 4.00

I found that quite interesting. I did a study of the dosage index for all Derby starters going back to 1965 and I found 19 percent of the Derby starters in that time frame had a DI over 4.00. It could be that the percent has fallen off but this year it is only around 10 or 11% and that is a pretty big drop.
