Not yet. My point was that if the million dollar purse remains in place for a long enough time, there will begin to be worthwhile horses that come out of that race. Just wait until the first Derby winner comes from that race, which it inevitably will. Money has a way of steering traditional and therefore relevance. Its easy now to merely shrug off the relevance of the Delta Jackpot, however my prediction is that in five years it will become something that many Derby types point towards.
