The Breeders Cup Juvenile is almost always a championship deciding race. It features the best 2yo's from every region and some international raiders.
Derby preps -- are just that -- prep races for the Derby.
The Santa Anita Derby turned out to be the big prep race this year... Blueskiesandrainbows almost stole it on the lead and was beaten just a half length.
A lot of the serious Derby contenders are often rated a little more than you usual in Derby Preps and ridden to finish strongly.
