Country Star would check in as 3rd with $565k... Don't have Eight Belles and Proud Spell handy, but Proud Spell has to be over $500,000 and Eight Belles maybe $90,000.

Z Fortune ran 2nd to Pyro but then did nothing in his next start. . . That race is definitely an anti-key race. . .

Default millionaire rule
I thought there used to be a millionaire rule. Any horse that has over a $1 mil in earnings doesn't win the Ky Derby (not counting Street Sense)

Those silly rules are all meant to be broken. I'm sure no one with exactly $123,417 has ever won the Derby. Doesn't mean Blackberry Road can't win it cause of that. He can't win it because he's too slow.

I imagine they come up with those silly rules for a reason.
not counting Funny Cide (gelding), Barbaro (RAN curse) and Street Sense (BCJC winner) just to name a few.
The logic behind millionaire rule could be something about peaking early. Best horse in November/ February isn't the best in May.

it's not how I play the race. Just remembered the list

I'm pretty sure Salute The Sarge has nearly $250,000 in graded earnings from last year.

He's nominated to this weekend's San Miguel Stakes at Santa Anita.

Z Humor is the horse from the Delta Jackpot, who also isn't much, but has obviously been mismanaged.

Has any Delta Jackpot winner ever done much afterwards?

I see Nikki'sgoldensteed listed here, but not on either Bloodhorse or Kentuckyderby.com. Have I missed something?

I think the race just knocks the winner out and the same can be said for alot of Kentucky Derby runners. Some just don't belong and others it is too much when they are still young.

Birdbirdistheword is the only one I can think of.
