From ESPN 8-3-06

Brother Derek's most likely race at Del Mar is the $100,000 El Cajon Stakes at a mile on Sept. 2, but Hendricks has not ruled out the $400,000 Del Mar Derby at 1 1/8 miles on turf on Sept. 3. Brother Derek has never run on turf.

"There is the slightest chance we might run in the Del Mar Derby," Hendricks said. "I might work him on the turf next week. Timing-wise, it comes up well. It is a Grade 2 worth $400,000. He's ahead of schedule."

The Del Mar Derby is not for 3 year olds and up. It is for 3 year olds. That's why it is a "Derby". Any time a race is called a "derby", that means it is restricted to 3 year olds.

I'm sorry. I misunderstood your post. I thought you said, "it's 3 and up". I thought that meant it was for 3 year olds and up.
