Yeah but the problem is that people aren't realistic and this becomes throwing darts at the wall. If owners were a little more aggressive about running in ...well...every other race the sport would be a lot more interesting. The fact that nobody cares if they ruin horses on the path to the Derby has made the sport worse, not better especially considering that virtually all of the people doing the ruining never win it.
