Whether or not Dunkirk will still be around at the end of the year....or whether this will secure POTN for Gomez for the rest of the year...

This is the DERBY!!! Who cares about who you're riding in the BC....the Kentucky Derby is the most important thing in horse racing, you pick the best horse regardless of the rest of the year

You did a great job of explaining why the sport is dying. The Derby is a huge race, no doubt. But it's just one day in 365.

There is also a difference between Ron Anderson and Bob Freize.

I'm assuming, given that I know you, that this is NOT a weight joke.

Yeah the interest in the derby is the reason why the sport is dying.

It's not the interest in the Derby that is the problem, it's the idea that the Derby is end all be all and that nothing else matters that's the problem.

Sorry if I don't buy into the fact that the preps we've seen at 1 1/16th and 1 1/8th is an end all of conversations and opinions. I just think once you bring the entire bunch together at this untested distance, some will benefit and others will be hindered. For one race on this given day I'll take a price.
