Just curious.....

Is there some kind of qualifying for the Delta Jackpot?

Only 10 can run, but with a $1M purse, way more than 10 are going to be "interested".

I think I read that the Derby isn't on Zito's radar for Miner's reward. As Steve said, he'll probably go in an allowance, and assuming all goes well, will prep for the Preakness in the Cliff's Edge...
