Sorry Steve, but calling this a second tier event is one of your worst quotes.
I can't even comprehend this statement.

What about the fact earnings for the Derby?? I don't think Mott, or Casse would agree with you.

The 2007 contest has to be the best race of the year. Have you really looked at the history of this race, other than the Zayat bash.?

I don't think Bill Mott would send out a money grabber, but would look at 1/1/4 in May as a step stone here.

The Hopeful Stakes is a bigger Fake of 2 year olds. Most are never heard from again.

You can't be serious
