Would anyone be crazy enough to try this?

The Blue Grass used to be 9 days before the Derby and the Derby Trial was the Tue of Derby week. Odd as it sounds they were very important races placed like that. The game has changed and it ain't going back.

Ahh, the good old days. When horses actually ran in races. I miss those days.

The Calumet horses usually used the Trial and they won more Derbies than anyone in history. Alydar's Blue Grass was 9 days before the Derby. Today if you tried that you'd be called a "butcher" by hordes of online fans who wouldn't know which end of a horse to feed and which end to clean up after.

works between races has supplanted races between races. makes you wonder why, as horses don't earn crap for a work, regardless of how fast it is.
