Casino Drive has proven he is good enough to compete with this year's top horses because there aren't any top horses with the exception of 5 or 6 of them. By your reasoning we should only have a 6 horse field for the BCC.

You could make the argument that Casino Drive is the 3rd best 3yr old in america, and it is not exactly a stretch.

Atleast Casino Drive has done something to make one believe he has the talent to compete at this level, because other than Big Brown and Colonel John there is not another 3yr old that belongs.

you could make the argument that CD is one of the best. you could also make the argument that he isn't. my contention is that two starts isn't much to bolster the argument that he belongs, while proven runners with more hardware in the trophy case belong ahead of a perceived talent.
i would think there are euros, asian horses, older horses, and other threee year olds who belong ahead of a horse having only made two starts. i would think all those would add up to more than six. i'd think you'd find more than six on the west coast alone who belong ahead of a two time starter/winner.
