You know, because she didn't "earn" her way in like they did.

I'm not defending the points system, but simply pointing out that yearly changes are going to make the bottom amount needed for entry fluctuate.
The exclusion of races for fillies, the Illinois Derby hilarity, and the BC Juvenile not being an auto entry seem to be the three biggest flaws with the system. The 1st and 3rd have simple fixes. The 2nd depends on if CDI is still in a pissing match with Hawthorne.
I think the GP Oaks-FG Oaks-Gazelle-Ashland and Fantasy should be in the 50 pt range, so should the Juvenile.
