A horse like a Big Brown, Hey Byrn, Face The Cat or even Elisyum Fields (with just 70K) all could find themselves excluded even with a big effort in the Florida Derby if they foul someone.
Why was he "deserving"? They had a year to get him some earnings and didn't do it.

He was trained by the hapless Jason Ormen - and was a very late developing horse who didn't make his stakes debut until the Santa Anita Derby.

I say he was deserving because he would have certainly taken more money than any of the horses coming in from So. Cal that year.
