No, the point I'm making is if she's in and then drops out because the post does not suite them, I'd be pissed if I could have been in the race if that would not of happened. If you worked our whole life to have a horse and the Derby and that happened, you wouldn't be mad?...please. It's obvious with 20 horses many don't belong but just having a horse in the race is a dream for many.

There are a million races to chose from starting as a 2yo to get the earnings they need. If you didn't make it, you have nobody else to blame for that. And honestly, who cares if the 21st or 22nd horse doesn't make it? It's not like she's keeping Big Brown or Colonel John out of the race. The reality is that there are maybe 5-10 horses that belong and the rest don't. I think people are looking at this the wrong way when they say that her entry would be keeping someone else out. It won't. That other horse had every opportunity to earn it's way in and keep it out of Porter's hands but didn't make it.
