Keep this up and you'll be getting some pm's from him like I currently am.

I don't want to spoil it for you, but he's going to tell a lot of lies in the pm's.

Why would a horse in need of points run in the Illinois Derby?

Was the Illinois Derby always 2 weeks before the Kentucky Derby? I thought it was 3 weeks out...

Was actually 4 weeks. Same as Wood & Santa Anita Derby. Since Churchill omitted Hawthorne from the point system, they figured they could do something different to give the race some importance as a Preakness prep.

Wow I was unaware that Churchill didn't include them in the point-system. Was this due to any beef between Churchill-owned Arlington and Hawthorne, or the fact that probably a legit Derby Contendor hasn't come out of that race since... War Emblem? Sorry if I'm omitting some obvious horse...
