Derby Trail Next Start-Likely/Possible

I'm sure most Euros consider the Arc, the 3YO classics, and probably a couple others more historically significant than the Kentucky Derby.

We aren't talking strictly "historical significance" though. We aren't talking strictly "money". We are talking about "importance".

I guess it goes back to how you define "importance". I think when you factor financial interests, world wide attention and historical significance there is no single race that can compare to the Kentucky Derby.

If "important" means figuring out the best horse, then I would agree the derby certainly is overrated in that regard.
