Your right that this race and many other "early" Derby preps will have no impact the "first Saturday in May" and the graded stakes that are listed in California and other states are way out of wack. But, "worst" field I thought was a bit too harsh, but I see where your coming from...I still say there are way too many triple crown preps and this could be the problem and grading them all goes by past winners of the event.
