Table 1 - Derby Winners by the numbers

The revolution began in 1966 when Kauai King captured the Kentucky Derby as the first representative of the Native Dancer sireline and continued to the present day when Mine That Bird produced his epic performance in last season's renewal. The history of success in the Classics suggest the dominance of the Native Dancer sireline will yield to another source of speed and classicity. Perhaps this is the year that Storm Cat will be represented with his first Derby winner.

Review the table of winners since 1966 here. Later this week, the probable field will be examined in depth with respect to these trends.
