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

I was under the impression they had no desire to run her in the Derby anyway. I guess if they could it might be a different story, but we'll never know.
Overall point taken, but if they weren't going to run anyway, it's hard to blame the point system.
It's like the people complaining about Departing getting "shut out" of the Derby. He could be running in it. The connections are choosing not to.
