Are people left that remember that the Derby didn't always have a 20 horse field? That actually having a chance to win meant something, at least to established trainers and owners? That making the field doesn't actually "qualify" you for the race?

I have little sympathy for the connections of the horses that don't get in. It is the same as the bubble in the NCAA tourney. It may be a nice story but those teams/horses really have no chance anyway.
