May 7 2022.  The annual Kentucky Derby for Dummies is back again this year, due to an uproar from fans of the simpleton guide because they haven’t seen it yet.  All we’ve issued so far is these boring statistical Derby Lessons, which you’re too busy to read through.

.

Full Kentucky Derby Grid with over 80 historical and performance factors here.

.

But we’ve aggregated all of those lessons and incorporated them into  the final Derby Dirty Dozen, and this Derby for Dummies guide, which is perfect for any recreational fan to show others how much you know about the 3yo horses.

.

First you download the Derby for Dummies graphic to your phone or tablet, or print it out.  If you also don’t habla electronics fluently, open it in a new tab or window first to enlarge it.

Then, when Discussing Derby today with your friends and family, you can say, “I like Mo Donegal because he has a great trainer and jockey and his closing maneuver to win the Wood was superb.  I gave him a grade of A across the board.  And did you know Todd has won 5 Triple Crown races already?” Then you show people the Dummy guide sheet that you made.

.

The spreadsheet version above gives you hidden information in the comment sections. See all those red markers in the top corner of each cell?  Those mean you can click on that cell and see more information about the horse, prior race, pedigree, trainer, etc.

.

The truth is that a lot of work, knowledge, analysis, and historical information went into assigning these grades, but you can pretend you’re an expert just by studying it for a few minutes.

.

How to use it gambling?  Normally 3 of the top 4 Derby finishers will be from the 5 horses assigned a final grade of A.  The other outlier will likely come from the B but maybe even the C category.  The bottom line is if they didn’t make the grade, they’re not getting purse money.

.

So have fun talking Derby today after making yourself an instant expert.  If you need the Grid for all the great stakes racing on the undercard today while you follow along on NBC or Peacock TV, you can get it here.
