I love that the Southwest is now graded. Seems to me that there's no better place to prep for the Triple Crown and the one issue the Oaklawn road had back in '04 (basically a one shot deal to get enough graded earnings) has been eliminated.
Now we all just need to start an "Arkansas Derby-G1" campaign and everything would be complete.

While it only seems logical that the Arkansas Derby should receive Grade I status, I am not optimistic the powers that be will let that happen anytime soon.

Let's run through the list of winners since '04... Tapit, Bellamy Road, Bob and John, Nobiz... a combined ZERO TC board finishes and a grand total of what, 1 dirt win after that? Arkansas Derby in the same stretch... Smarty Jones (2 TC victories and a 2nd), Afleet Alex (2 TC victories and a 3rd), Lawyer Ron (no TC success but several graded stakes victories since), Curlin (1 TC victory, 1 2nd, 1 3rd, a JCGC, BCC, and HOY) I think that says enough. Keep in mind, KG, this coming from a hardcore New Yorker.
