The last I knew, the Derby is still being run on May 3. There is a lot of time between now and then. Out of the 21 years I've been following this sport, I've heard these same complaints in probably 7 out of the last 10 years. People neeed to freaking relax and let the events unfold as they may. Maybe it will turn out to be a lously crop, maybe it won't, but either way it will still be a lot of fun on May 3rd.

It's the same thing every single year for the past 8 years. They all stink until the Kentucky Derby and then you have a few that emerge from the Derby to run well in the next two legs of the TC. Most of the Derby Trail contenders who fail to make the mix are never heard from again. The survivors might run a few times in the fall and then are rushed off to the farm to cover mares.
