Is it just me or is this a particularly good Derby?

BSF: 90,93.91,100,101,94,100,96,98,91,99,91,95,99,98,109 - very nice so far.

With several 90+ BSF three year olds to enter, hopefully. And I would imagine that there is a filly or two looking to test these.

I'll be happy if my guy manages to stay in, double happy if he gets any better than last place - he's not really a "contender" but it's on the sim bucket list to have a Derby entrant, so gotta throw him in if it's possible! I don't have any stats in front of me, but there can't have been too many Derby races previously with four 100+ SF horses entered?

Given Dave Matthews Band was recently pensioned I think it would be awesome if Jon Xett's horse, Prize won the Derby. So I will be cheering on Prize. I know there are other Dave Matthews Band offspring running, but I would still like to see Prize do it, and he looks to be a very legit contender, so I also hope this isn't a pie in the sky 'hopeful' wish either.

I have that same feeling in every Grade 1 race I put one of my good horses into. The Sim is Loaded with so many awesome horses!

Henry aside, because he seems special, but Jon Xett has 3 legit colts, Laura Ferguson has 2 unbeaten runners, Eric Nalbone with the fastest horse of them all? What is this, year 15??
