FIGURING THE DERBY WINNER

Brisnet.com won’t tell you who will win the Kentucky Derby, but its Ultimate Past Performances can certainly help you figure out who can win the Kentucky Derby. Prime Power is an indication of how a horse is expected to perform, and with the exception of Mine That Bird in 2009, the Kentucky Derby winner has had a rating of at least 140 going into the race. The Speed & Class Ratings are the performance numbers each horse earned when winning the race. A history of 100+ Speed and 120+ Class Ratings is essential to Derby success.
