Funny you added that as I was going to comment on it too, and applaud Catalano passing this gimmicky event. It's hard to find many horses that go to these 2 races and manage to have a great sophomore season. It's seems to strictly be a money grab. I think you only go to this if you have a juvy you don't expect to hold together at 3 but is in form now... The last 2 years of the Jackpot for instance... 2008 Big Drama (Did fine at 3..) West Side Bernie (Did OK at 3; sold to Godolphin..) Stimulus Plus (What happened to him?) Retap (Who knows...) Terrain (Dead) Skipadate (Never materialized) Valid Message Trinity Magic Three PartHarmony 2007 Z Humor (Wasted talent ruined by Zayat/Sobhy Sonbol) Turf War (Never much horse thereafter) Golden Yank.. (A personal favorite that turned out OK long term) Racecar Rhapsody (Moscow Derby?) Overextended (!!!) St. Joe Cave's Valley (Won a race or two but wasn't what Trombetta hoped for..) Betatron Take the Money Cudjo 2008 Princess (Kind of interesting... Gifts, Jenda and Silk have been OK..) Four Gifts C. S. Silk Smokin Again Loveyou Everybody Just Jenda Seacrettina Phoenician Moon Southern Yankee Garter Belt

The race has produced Outta Here, Texcess, Fire Slam, Big Drama, Terrain, Mr. Jester, Freesgood, all Grade 3 types for the most part. Not seeing what big time horses have been ruined or suckered into running because of greed.

I can't even comprehend this statement. What about the fact earnings for the Derby?? I don't think Mott, or Casse would agree with you. The 2007 contest has to be the best race of the year. Have you really looked at the history of this race, other than the Zayat bash.? I don't think Bill Mott would send out a money grabber, but would look at 1/1/4 in May as a step stone here. The Hopeful Stakes is a bigger Fake of 2 year olds. Most are never heard from again. You can't be serious Last edited by MisterB : 12-01-2009 at 06:03 PM.

The Test is for three-year-old fillies.
