I like the idea but limit the field to only the main starting gate and not the add on gate. Also set up an AE list in case a trainer scratches out.

Guillot has been saying for weeks and even before Salute the Sarge's comeback race that he was probably going to run the Derby if Signature Move failed because Southern Equine is determined to have a Derby starter this year. I would assume that if the horse doesn't completely embarrass himself in the Lexington that he will definitely go.

you're idea is good. we just need to survey more people on the internet to see what they want.

because 20 horses with the most graded stakes earnings is too complex.
