By way of "confirming" my previous post, I'll just say that I do my own adjustments and etc.
Someone wrote to me and asked about my take on the derby. In response, I simply provided them with the "top 5" (25% of the field) in a few categories.
Unlike most people, I am concerned with each horses "early" position. The top 5 in that category were #'s 3,6,14,15,19, in post position order. I did not consider #9 (Trinniberg) as this horse was just an annoyance in this race.
I also provided them with the "top 5" horses based on final time. Those horses were the #'s 5,6,8,10,19, again, in post position order.

You can see three things from this;
1 - the winner and the second horse were among the 5 best first call position horses.
2 - the winner, place horse and show horse were among the the 5 best final time horses.
3 - the #11 and #15 were NOT among the top 5 final time horses

So these findings tend to confirm the findings through ENERGY.
