[richard]

I would point toward the Preakness .

What am I missing? Why couldn't you run and possibly win both the Derby and the Preakness?

Because you need that 6 weeks or more to get that peak performance.

If my horse is that good, I'm running him in the Derby unless he tells me otherwise.

Joe the Dude is pointing to the Belmont.

Is there a maiden 12500 at Parx, starter allowance at Penn, 25000 nw3 at Presque Isle, Belmont bonus available?

[Thunder Gulch]

I'd find some soft G1 filly races out west and win 4 races so I could have the HOY.

Wow. Tough choice. Skip the Derby for a CHANCE at 5.5 million! I don't think that I would skip the Derby if I qualified for the Kentucky Derby. As a horseplayer I think the biggest dream is to win the Derby and I would have to take a shot at winning it if I could. One of the rare times in this game that money would matters less to me.
