I'm not disagreeing with your assertion, brian. I am just making the point that the folks who might be whining about their horse missing out on the Derby because of Cowboy Cal probably don't have much of a Derby contender anyway.

Got it. I thought you were talking about the horses who got in at the last minute as opposed to those knocked out at the last minute. Same thing I guess.

I'm just fired up today.

i think they should limit to 14 starters, and make only three year old graded earnings count. would certainly limit the amount of horses coming in on two preps.

I STRONGLY disagree with your first idea, but your second is ok.

how do the horses who finish 15-20 enhance the race?

It's not about after the race, but before.

Though I would like to see Big Truck get another win, I have a hunch that Kentucky Bear is going to run big here. I'll probably bet a trillion dollars on him to win if his odds stay generous.
