I couldn't agree more. Let them prep over here if they want into the Derby...

The only Euro/British/Irish/Dubai horse who has hit the board in the Kentucky Derby prepped in the US in the Blue Grass S. None of those who shipped directly over has ever run competitively. Why should we make room for no-hopers from overseas in a limited field?

exactly.. I don't mind having horses to toss out of the 20 horse field but not at the expense of someone that preps properly over here. They want to win our race do what our (American) horses do.

There is a point system for the Road to The Roses contest - but what graded stake races to they not use?

Everybody should play by the same rules.
