Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 3341179, member: 474"] the build up to the derby will be fascinating to watch.. if the preakness/belmont stay ahead of it how many of these horses will still be running by sept.. in a normal year of the 20 derby horses only a handful are still really running hard by the fall and usually a few they were not ready in may are just hitting their stride.. i wonder if the pt system gets changed for entry cause i have to think most of the crop wont be running, it makes the first big race bigger since they usually scrape to see who will run in the preakness but now.. and who is gonna run in the belmont may totally change since the big horses wont be coming off 2 big races by june.. what if the belmont becomes the first, how many run?
