going the right way
 

total energy and % median moving the right way

another moving the right way
 

total energy improving and median in the right ball park

going south
 

one of the colts considered but going the wrong way total energy,median on the rise

total okay, median up
 

this one looks a lot like Lion Heart and both ran second

medain up as the distance increased
 

looked like this one might do better later as a three year old.
Did'nt make the 9 furlong move too well.

compeletly the wrond direction
 

total and median going opposite directions...median really up a lot.

fit the profile
 

this one WOULD have to be a serious contender on all counts.

I liked this one
 

the energy is there, but the median is going the wrong way. If you compare this one to Lawyer Ron, the latter might be in trouble total energy wise. Remember Sir Cherokee came out of the Ark Derby (injuried and did not run) with numbers around 162 and median 67.7. Smarty came out of the race with 161.95 and 67.5 for comparison.

seasoning
 

total, median wrong direction

only a single race
 

questionable with only a single contest close

tremendous record
 

of all colts reviewed this one was the most consistent. EVERYTHING about these lines says monster.

all three against it
 

lack seasoning, total energy median on the way up.

my first choice
 

looking at it again with these parameters, I see cracks I did not see before such as the median being VERY LOW around what we see with Birdstone. Still a very good animal as subsequent races proved.

saarland going south
 

median and total energy goinf the wrong way.

too much too soon
 

I've been fooled many a time by one race wonders like this one. NOT THIS TIME however as the median was a clue.

another one going the wrong way
 

total energy down and median up as the distances increased.

look at the improvement
 

all within the parameters of total energy >162 median around 67.5

getting better
 

this one is a little more subtle. It really helped that this one was alone on the lead.

ran 4th but qualified
 

total energy, % median, all going the right direction. A contender anytime you see these together in the past performances fro the Derby. Only a subtle rise in % median over the average but still within range.
