I don't know about that. There have been some decent horses come out of this race recently. Magna Graduate won this a few years ago. Request for Parole and Perfect Drift both had very good careers after running in this race.
Last year's winner also had a pretty decent 3yo campaign after this race.

Comment was about about this years field, just the way I feel. I just don't see this as a derby prep, but who knows I may look like a fool come May.

Oh, well in that case you're right.
There are so many 3yo stakes races around the country in February through April, however, that it is hardly surprising that many of them - particularly the ungraded ones - are unable to attract horses who are contenders for the Kentucky Derby.

Yep.

Kera's Kitten is useful.

[The Indomitable DrugS]

He'll be even more useful if he finally ever runs an 80 Beyer... but yeah, he's certainly a very deserving favorite.

I wonder what the record for earnings is with a horse that never run an 80 Beyer?
