Harbinger improved slightly on his 2 previous wins.
Cape Blanco ran a stinker, the equivalent of a Class 2 handicapper.
You can figure out the rest of the field from the above.
The ground was perfect Good ground, no excuse for Workforce.
Workforce would have struggled to win a Class 3 handicap with that effort yesterday. The stinker of all stinky efforts. He's no Lammtarra on that...

How do you explain the fact that Youmzain has run in 20 consecutive group 1 races but has never been beaten anywhere near as far in any of them as he was yesterday ?.
Every horse in the race ran miles below form while Harbinger improved very slightly on his previous form ?.

Cape Blanco ran to his best form. Workforce was the only one that definitely didn't.
Winning a group 1 by 11 lengthe slightly better than winning a group 3

I think two types of horses win The Derby - exceptional ones who do so despite the course and the way the race is run - these are rare indeed. The other type is the decent horse who relishes a course and conditions when most of his rivals do not. The latter group, imo, typified by Workforce, produce the greatest number of Derby winners.
