I think Bill V's reason for tossing the 2 was entirely legitimate. I didn't mean to imply by posting the incidental (basically trivial) info I did, that I thought otherwise. Racing is a long-term enterprise, IMO. If you have guidelines for yourself, that serve you well, (and it did look to me also that the 2 was not competitive at this level), then obviously you don't make exceptions, just because it's a "fancy" race that many are watching. I didn't bet the Derby either, but the Woodford Reserve Turf Classic, the race before the Derby, was a really decent race to handicap and bet, with a nice result, partly because the handle is so large that day, I guess. I stick to those. I've been trying to systematically read back through all the manuals and Follow Ups. I always learn something I either never knew, or had forgotten.
