horseracingnation put together a nice side by side comparison.
http://www.horseracingnation.com/con...takes_earnings under the new system, it looks like they traded out den's legacy, dynamic sky, he's had enough and power broker for falling sky, frac daddy, normandy invasion, and palace malice. all pending the lexington and derby trial, of course. hard to argue that isn't an improvement. |
