Your opinion regarding whether or not these horses are going to win their races is what truly doesn't matter at all. The fact that they are entered in these races could potentially change the nature of the races, even if they don't win. Also, they don't have to win the races to get the graded earnings required to enter the "all-important" Kentucky Derby.
I am saying it doesnt matter where BirdBird or Bold Start races. Flip Flop them, send BirdBird to the Arkansas Derby, send Bold Start to the Bluegrass - send either horses in any KY Derby prep race and neither of them is going to win. This is my point. It really has nothing to do with the KY Derby. It has everything to do with the fact that these two horses are not good enough to win a KY Derby prep race.

Well, I suppose you can understand how we were a bit confused when you began your contribution to this thread with the lines quoted above. And then said:

There are two seperate thoughts. One thought states it doesnt matter where the run next. The next thought pertains to the Derby. I can see how it was confusing.
