Santa Anita Derby

Will the training splits affect the finish? Here they are ranked in order of volume of speed work since 1/1/09.

Number of works/races-horse-number of speed furlongs for the year

14 Chocolate Candy 83
13 Mr. Hot Stuff 73
13 Pamplemoose 63
12 Pioneer Of The Nile 69
11 Take The Points 64
11 Feisty Suances 57
11 Gallant Son 63
10 Unbridled Roman 62
9 Cape Truth 50
6 Z Day 29

It looks as the trainers of the top two are trying a little harder, and that most of the rest have similar training in terms of the whole year. Dunkirk and Quality Road training would seem to fit in with most of these. Again, the lesser horses do less work. Will Chocolate Candy and Mr. Hot Stuff show due to their overall greater volume of speed work??? Recent training and some picks on Saturday.
