More importantly, and your frustration with field sizes in stakes lately is understood, but you have to know what you're dealing with in NY this time of year. Does anyone really consider the Count Fleet and Whirlaway Derby preps? If you have a quality 3YO right now you want him tested and that's just not what's going to happen as easily in NY as it will in other places. NT

You are corrrect aboutthe2009 Gotham, I misread my stats. NYRA Derby Prep races are in ascending order. This shouldn't even be a discussion. You should be able to field a Super Race for EVERY DERBY PREP.

1. Remsen
2. Whirlaway
3.Gotham
4.Wood
5. Withers (I will give you a pass here)
