Yup, and we'll see who shows up next year with horses split between the Lane's End, Louisiana Derby, Florida Derby, Wood Memorial, Santa Anita Derby, Blue Grass Stakes, and Arkansas Derby. And god forbid the Sunland Derby gets G3 status next year and draws some horses looking for graded earnings. This is a bad move.
