That is why horses are coming in from FL,Cali,Canada,NY.
Also a reason why Rogue Romance is running next week,he showed he liked CD. So why not keep him there and let him run in the KY Jockey Club? I get the idea,its easier to get graded earnings now then wait till Feb. THey run him now and in Feb he could run like crap in Arkansas and still be in.

In the past it's probably been the timing of the race and the Bull Ring that has kept a lot of quality horses away. It's not like people just figured out that $1,000,000 is a lot of money (or the 750K it was the past year, I believe). Personally, I like this event and is the one day a year I actually play Delta.
But winning on a gimmicky track like that is one reason why it's hard to equate the Jackpot winner as being a possible future star on the Derby trail.
