September 5, 2020.  It’s Saturday afternoon and you’re hearing all this talk about the Kentucky Derby as usual, the first Saturday in September. It doesn’t matter, day month or year, it’s Derby Day! And the Derby for Dummies is back by popular demand.

.

We put together a Dummy grid for you, basically summarizing the full Derby Grid, which is awesome but takes 30 minutes to read all the content.  If you have a short attention span, you can print or save the Dummies mini-grid in 3 minutes, and then seem very informed to all your friends!

.

For example, you can look at a horse that has an A for trainer and jockey, and say “I like his connections,” and then if your friends aren’t impressed enough about that, you can then read off the name of their trainer, jockey, and further say you gave his prep races an A!

.

So we graded each horse on the connections, speed figures, prep performances, pedigree, and Derby points.  In each field they get an A, B, C or no grade at all.  The A B C grades are worth points and they are tallied for you to get a final score, so as to not stretch your noodle too much.

.

Without further ado, here is the Derby Dummy Grid with the grades and scores.  It has just enough info so that you can seem intelligent speaking about it to friends and family, and possibly even win some bets!

.

.

There it is in a nutshell.  The A contenders are, shockingly, Tiz the Law, Authentic, and Honor A.P., the same top contenders in every other analysis we’ve done.  Close behind are NY Traffic, Thousand Words, and Max Player, getting B’s.  3 horses identified as key exotic horses previously.

.

Of the C horses to use underneath in your exotics, I like two of them, and anyone who’s read the Derby Dirty Dozen knows that Sole Volante is the top LP horse and therefore must be used.  I had no idea Attachment Rate would score decently in this but I still don’t like him.  Great trainer though.

.

.

Overall the results are surprisingly accurate and correspond well with the other Derby Lessons this week.  Plus you can print out the Dummy Grid and when someone mentions a horse, say you gave him a grade of __ in the category of ___ and therefore you like him or not.

.

Have the last word tonight, know what everything’s about. Be a big shot. Your friends will be so knocked out.  Don’t forget your Halston dress.

.

Remember, it’s never too late to get the full Derby Grid or join the WWC for a month or so, getting you thru the Preakness as well.
