What I\'ve been looking at is this: As an owner/trainer when did you have a comfortable amount of points- what was your intent in the remaining race(s) prior to the Derby and how much did it or not take out of your horse. Generally speaking, in 2013-14, the first two years, 20 points gets you in but nobody wants to cut it that close. Let\'s say you want 50 points to feel safe. So a few examples: AP 60 pnts after the Rebel win on Mar 14 with the Arkansas remaining. Cranked up? Probably not. Firing Line 8 pnts going into the Sunland on Mar22. Had to win to get the 50 pnts. Dortmund 70 after the RBL on Mar7. Pedal to the metal in the SA? Probably not. Materiality went into the Florida with 0 pnts! Frosted with only 9 had to get 1st or 2nd in the Wood. I\'ve kept this brief-so many other angles to examine but food for thought? Note: 10-4-2-1 from the Iroquois Sep6 through the Southwest Feb22.... 50-20-10-5 Gotham,San F.& TBD Mar7 through the Sunland Mar22.... 100-40-20-10 the UAE Mar28 on out(the Lexington Apr11 is 10-4-2-1).
