. Wednesday, May 5, 2021.  This Kentucky Derby Recap will be depressing to some of you who didn’t get the Kentucky Derby Grid or subscribe to the Grid in any way.  This is mostly because we ran out of time last week to publish the Derby for Dummies after doing the last Derby Dozen. . […]

. 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 […]

. Friday, March 6.  Kentucky Derby Futures Pool 4 opened today and will be open until Sunday at 6pm.  The Kentucky Oaks pool is also open.

. Friday, February 12, 2021.  A new edition of the 2021 Kentucky Derby Futures Pool, number 3 to be exact, is underway this weekend.  Remember to place your bets by Sunday at 6PM ET, regardless of whatever this 2:59AM time that it keeps stating on the TVG site. .

. November 27, 2020.  Churchill Downs.  Yes, it was only 2.78 months ago that the 2020 Kentucky Derby was run, but it’s late in the year and time to start looking at the 2021 Kentucky Derby contenders.  This initial version of the Derby Double Dozen is here because Futures Pool 1 is running this weekend, […]

. Wednesday, April 26, 2020.  The long awaited (almost) final and Definitive Derby Dozen is here. Normally it’s the Double Dozen but the field has finally narrowed down to 21 after the year long battle of attrition.  In the last Dozen 2 months ago, even after the removal of Nadal and Charlatan, there were still […]

. Friday, June 26, 2020.  It’s been over two months since the last Derby Double Dozen and One, otherwise known as the Top 25, but Kentucky Derby Futures Pool 5 opens today and runs all weekend, so this is the time to do it!  That’s right, the Derby Top 25 and Grid PP for the […]

Dirty Double Derby Dozen- April 5 2020 – Kentucky Derby Top 25 . April 5, 2020. Kentucky Derby Double Dozen and One Top 25 Rankings. This may be the last chance to get in your futures bets for the Kentucky Derby as Pool 4 closes today, and I wanted to wait to recap some of […]

. February 7, 2020.  This isn’t the first Double Dozen for Kentucky Derby 2020, but it is the first of the year.  There wasn’t much in the way of official Derby Prep Races in January, in fact only 4 total.  But there were also other assorted 3yo stakes such as the Swale, Mucho Macho Man, […]
