There is a magical thing when it comes to dosage. It reveals what type of breeding that excels at certain races and what type does not. The Breeder's Cup Dirt Mile is one of those races. This pattern does not differentiate itself from the different tracks either. It is the same straight across the board, from Kentucky to California for this specific race.

It may surprise most to know that high speed, historically, does not win this 8f race. I'm not talking about displayed speed on the track. It's about high speed in the inheritance.

Liam's Map is the only horse who won this race outside of the "rules" - however, Liam's Map was holding a very large 38 total chef points, so the exception gets a pass, and we move on. He can't be considered within the whole.

15 editions of the Dirt Mile including all tracks (Liam's Map aside)

Winners with an index of 3.01 and over - 0%

Winners at 3.00 exact - 13%

Winners Under 3.00 (Midrange and top of stamina) - 87%

3.00 and under has a 100% win rate in the Dirt Mile, regardless of track.

Chef's CD above .72 - 0%

Chef's CD below .72 - 100%

Colts with High Inbred Speed DO NOT win this race.

Right off the bat, when considering the TOP SPOT of this year's edition, over half the field can be disregarded. They may hit the board, but to win it outright is not looking promising for them. They would be the first to crack that perfect historical pattern. The rules don't get broken too often and none of them are sporting a high chef points total like Liam's Map.
