I don't get this. My DerbyWatch email from DRF says:

"* Recapture the Glory was announced as another late nominee to the Triple Crown by Triple Crown Productions, bringing the total of late nominees to 11 and the overall number of nominees to 460, which equals the overall record set last year. There has been a common nomination form for the Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes since 1986."

How does this come out 5 days after the supposed cutoff?!
