Fortunately, the Lexington's purse has been cut and winning it will no longer guarantee a spot in the Derby. That being said, it could ensure Silver Medallion has enough to get in. It's way, way past time for 2YO earnings to be done away with altogether.

Does Uncle Mo get in w/out 2yo earnings? 3rd in the Wood should do it, but I don't think eliminating 2yo earnings is the answer... discounting them, sure... maybe 50%? Who knows.

If you did away with them altogether then Team Todd would have had to do something crazy like having the poor horse ready to run three times before the Derby! Would that fit his 'program'?
