I'll be the First to ask?

If I were an owner....just the thrill of having my horse be leading the Derby at the top of the stretch turning for home.....might be more worth it than an Oaks win, whether or not she finishes in the top 3.

I'd have a story to tell for the rest of my life to non or casual horse racing fans if my horse could be leading the Derby with just a few furlongs left to go. I find value in that. But if I talk about winning the Oaks, anyone that isn't a dedicated fan might not know what I'm talking about.
