Just curious.....

Is there some kind of qualifying for the Delta Jackpot?

Only 10 can run, but with a $1M purse, way more than 10 are going to be "interested".

How are the final 10 determined?

First preference goes to Golden Actor for winning the prep, the Jean Laffite; 2nd preference to horses 1-2-3 in G1 or G2 races; 3rd preference to horses that were in the money in any graded stake; 4th determinant is lifetime earnings.

Thanks Steve. I knew there had to be some kind of qualifying for the race but I hadn't seen it spelled out anywhere.

Much appreciated!
