My bet is that those who answered the Sandown Classic Trial before glancing at the list below are in a very small minority yet runners from this race have an excellent record in the Derby. In fact of the last 27 horses to reach the first two in the Sandown Classic Trial and run in the Derby seven have scored.

I’m missing six years of runner data, so I had to estimate those going on to run at Epsom for this period but the statistics below are almost certainly within a couple of runners of the correct totals.
