KY Derby Point System

[Calzone Lord]

Even worse -- a 4th place finish in the UAE Derby is worth as much as a win in the Breeders Cup Juvenile.

Yang Tse Kiang gets 40 points just for finishing 2nd to Daddy Long Legs in the UAE Derby.

Daddy Long Legs had 100 points.

Arazi, Sweetnorthernsaint, War Emblem, Charismatic, Mine That Bird, Lemon Drop Kid, Birdstone, Ten Most Wanted, Eight Belles, Giacomo, and Sea Hero --- they had a combined total of 104 points and all ran in the Ky Derby.

So, Daddy Long Legs (100 points) VS 5 different Kentucky Derby winners, two others who were post time favorite in the Derby, and 4 different Travers winners with 104 points.
