from strictly a gambler's point of view - heck no... the more, the better.... plus that would still allow for synth winners to get in

Why note make the following races "Win and you're in"?
3 races at the end of the 2-year old season
10 races during the 3-year old season

BC Juvenile, KY Jockey Cup, Hollywood Futurity

Risen Star, LA Derby, Fountain of Youth, FL Derby, Gotham, Wood, San Felipe, SA Derby, Rebel, Arkansas Derby,


The remaining spots in the field could be chosen by a Churchill committee (like the NCAA basketball tourney) or some other Criteria. Horses can still choose to run in the Bluegrass, Spiral, Sunland Derby, etc.. but it wouldn't automatically give them an entry into the Derby.
