I basically made the point because I don't think the Oaks should have a future pool like the derby.
It doesn't seem to be the ultimate goal for many 3-yo fillies, like it is is for the boys, and they don't have nearly the same number of horses clearly pointing for that race. Otherwise, a horse like Sutra would never be listed.
Plus, what happens if Rags to Riches runs in the derby? She was easily the most wagered on filly in both pool 1 and pool 2. It's a terrible bet.
