I like the ideal of the bonus for two reasons; no more of this.... if I don't win the derby I will skip the Preakness, which started to be a joke with some of the horses that entered the preakness just to be in a triple crown race.

Too many owner and trainers started ducking the big tracks for inflated purses at some of these bull ring tracks....i.e. Delta Doom and Charlestown which is having a 2 year old and 3 year olds prep races for inflated purses in the years to come. It would allow most of the best horses owners and trainers to select carefully, how they will prep for a triple crown race.

Btw...Santa Anita derby will be run on dirt next year (I.D)
