Exactly what is your "beef" here?

(1) American Graded Stakes Committee uses same factors to evaluate Delta Jackpot and Delta Princess that is employs to evaluate each potential graded race.

(2) I do not know of any instance where AGSC has any input into amount of and/or distribution of purse monies at any track.

(3) Kentucky Derby uses graded earnings. Is this source of your anger?

(4) I applaud Boyd Gaming especially Bill Boyd who puts money into purses. Is your "beef" with NYRA, Magna, CDI, or other tracks that do not offer such purses?

If you wanna "beef", why didn't AGSC award Grade 1 status to Arkansas Derby? Now, that is genuine travesty!
