WTF? The horse was obviously having some issues - why even bother working him this morning, to make certain he had an issue?

So the field becomes more mediocre by the minute. At least Endorsement had a quality win to his name.

Endorsement had the highest last out Beyer. This field is epically bad when compared to previous generations of 3YO's. Only three horses - one a filly - will come into the Derby with a highest lifetime BSF of above 100. That is absolutely unprecedented and brutally slow.

Why would Make Music for Me be considered here? What about his 3YO season shows that he'll be capable of going 10f on DIRT this Saturday? The American Turf seems a better spot to be frank.

Hopefully, Setsuko not being among the entries will ensure a change in the graded earnings system for next year's Derby. Count the horses in this field that have zero graded stakes earnings during their 3YO seasons:

Make Music for Me


Who am I missing?

Saying it over and over won't ensure a change in the earnings system.

If they didn't change the rules after horses like Sunday Break, Rock Hard Ten and Unshaded were excluded from the Derby, do you really think they are going to do it because of Setsuko?

Seems like there are a few others in the Derby field who probably would be a better fit for The American Turf also. Why question just Make Music for Me's connections?

Obviously, me saying the graded earnings system is broken isn't going to change anything, but that doesn't mean I'm not right on this one.
