CD has a lock on the most prestigious Horse Racing Event in the country and its the most sought after race for any TB owner. Just to even make it to the derby, CD probably feels its a privilege and owners should pay homage at the feet of CD and not the other way around.
Exactly. They are going to go, bitch about how disrespectfully they are treated, and come back again if the happen to be so fortunate.

I think the point is that it's ridiculous that it comes to that. 30K horses born each year, and out of that 20 make it. The owners ought to be treated like friggin' royalty, if only for the day.
