5/4 (CD): 145th Kentucky Derby Day

[richard burch]

I think a comment was made that 20 horses is too many.

Should it be reduced to 15?

Yay or Nay ?

Anyone know if there ever was another "Objection" filed in a Kentucky Derby before?

I’d prefer to keep it at 20 but I’m fine either way. I don’t think the size of the field was an immediate cause of this incident.

I think there may be some validity for the safety issue. Young, lightly raced , fast horses, sloppy track, not the greatest scenario.

........and kudos to all the jocks for staying up in that mess. every time i see it it looks more dangerous.

The only thing worse than a DQ is a pile up. I'll take that any day.
