At this point I think there is no reason not to give them one start in a maiden race as a 3YO, then a final Derby prep, and go on to the big race.
Frankly, the Derby should be 20 heats of 20 horses each, all with two starts, and then a final showdown between the winners. They're not machines.....don't ya know.
