Interesting. I came up with the same horses -- 7-5-1 -- using a completely different methodology. I think #5 Pioneer of the Nile has a slightly better chance to win, but the 8-1 morning line on #7 I Want Revenge makes that baby a better bet for me. Let's nail this race!

We nailed it but missed a nice score by the length of a nose..

We need a horse bred by Jimmy Durante.

Unless there is a "force of nature" in the wings at two
Unless those few mature properly
Unless none of them get hurt stretching out, AND
Unless there is not another force of nature yet hidden to us.

It is folly to try and make any sense of the three years going to the Derby until about the 2nd week of April.

Fine, great, thanks very much, we'll write that down. Meanwhile, on the darkest night of the year, the beginning of Winter, they run a horse race which is the kickoff to the joy of horseracing's Spring and biggest day. It's just a single race which happens to be for 2 year olds. Jim (JMS) follows this series of races every year if you have been paying attention, so why not lay off the lecture over the Holidays and continue to just enjoy the racing.

Tim, as usual I'm not sure of the point you are trying to make. These races leading up to the Triple Crown are great betting races. If you think that the tools we use won't get us winners (and big prices at that) than by all means sit them out.. I however know otherwise.. For someone who always preachs about "no rules", you sure always seem to be applying them.
