Derby replaces graded earnings with point system

[lemoncrush]

I think it's a fantastic start.
The group that line in the gate on derby day will probably not change much, but this should make the final preps (FL Derby, SA Derby, etc..) much deeper and with better quality.
Also Love the fact that:
• Only one grass race counts
• no races restricted to fillies count
• Races under a mile don't count.

It seems you'll have to earn your way in as a 3-year old, routing on dirt.
That makes the most sense.
