Saturday, May 1, 2021.  The final down and dirty Derby Dozen was actually released in one of the Derby Lessons articles as a number in the ranking column, but if you didn’t catch it, this is what it looks like, relabeled as the column DD.

.

For those smart enough to catch on to what that ranking was, and smarter enough to pay attention to the Derby Lesson series every year, you would know that the top 4 Kentucky Derby finishers are always from the top 10 in the Dozen, and 3 of the top 4 are almost always from the top 6.

.

So take that in mind before you start shooting for some unreasonable long shots, and note that there are plenty of long shots already in the final Derby Dozen that you can use in your exotics and even WPS wagers.

Update May 5, 2021

Indeed this year, it happened again, as the top 5 in the Kentucky Derby were all from the top 8 ranked in the final Derby Dozen, and the top 4 were all from the top 7.  That’s actually about normal for the Derby Dozen, but usually there’s an outlier that ranks 9 or 10.

.

Anyway, stay tuned for some nice Preakness Picks next week, for some other great info and analysis for the next leg of the Triple Crown.
