Bluegrass or Florida Derby

I'm not knocking AGS, Sorehoof, the question presented here is whether he can gain enough graded stakes earnings to even get into the Derby. If he does not finish 1-2 (or possibly 3) in his next start, AGS likely won't even get a chance to get into the starting gate.

That would truly be sad.

That is exactly my point in saying he is probably better going into the AD than the BG. I can't say that AGS is a top contender yet, but his last race was impressive and he needs the graded earnings to ensure that he gets into the Derby, unlike a SS or Hard Spun who have enough to get in today. Off his last performance he deserves to be 1 of 20, but if he flops in his next he likely will not get in the Derby.
