But doesn't some of that have to do with the point system and its Grossly overweighting of late Derby Preps. In my opinion they need to weight by Grade and start with Breeders cup Juvenile. A Grade 1 Win in the Juvenile should be the same as A Grade 1 Win in March. For the most part we have had lower field sizes until late Feb and some very large ones after.
