Default Bwana Bull to Derby
He scratched from the Derby Trial and will run in the Derby.

Why?

Well I guess we finanlly have a little more speed in this race. This is why I think they are going for the Derby. This Graded Earnings system is a joke.

Wow you really don't like that Graded Earnings system do you? Clearly it isn't perfect, but I don't see what it has to do with this particular horse however. Is there a system that could be put into place that would exclude B. Bull, and instead include a horse that is a legitimate condender? I doubt it. People have made the argument that the Matz horse belongs, but the points system you argued for earlier would clearly exclude him and would in fact, favor B. Bull over the Matz horse FAR more than the current graded earnings system does. The point is.....not everything is the system's fault.
No matter what system you use, as long as it is a 20-horse field, there will always be a fair number of horses in the race that have no chance.

He was so flat in his last 2 races maybe he had a bug?

Not too likely, but if the son of a gun wins, invest in equine antibiotics
