Mine that Bird got the only negative number in the race.  Obviously the 1W trip wasn\'t a bad thing - but the fastest horse on that day won.

Look, I’m leaving that small sample study alone, a close look should tell you how meaningful it is and isn’t, and a lot of Derbies have been won with rail trips. But anyone who looks at the Archived Derbies will see buried marks, and it ain’t cause of weight differentials.
