When is the last time a Derby winner headed the Global Rankings?
How many American horses travel to try and win this Greatest horse race or French for that matter?
There's more horses travel to Australia for the Melbourne Cup than come to the UK for the Derby. We send brigades to the Breeders and the Arc

The race has produced about 4 Arc winners in 30 years..tells you everything
