Goldencents, 2012 Delta Jackpot winner, wins Santa Anita Derby. Does this still make Jackpot an unimportant race as suggested by many turf pundits?
Goldencents -- Grade I winner, SA Derby, and Grade III Sham winner (3-2-0-0)
Itsmyluckyday -- Grade I placed, Florida Derby, and Grade III Holy Bull winner (4-2-1-0)
Mylute -- Grade II placed, Louisiana Derby (3-1-1-0)
Collectively since Jackpot, these three have run (10-5-2-0). Currently, 3rd, 9th, and 13th, respectively, in Kentucky Derby points standings.
Can you say Grade II Delta Jackpot? Or heaven forbid, Grade I!
