Really? It seem really poorly thought out to me.

For instance, any top two year old who has a setback late in their 2yo season is going to have difficulty accruing points.

It probably not perfect, but it's a start that can be tweaked.

Doesn't anyone suspect that this may be the hammer that they could use to try and push the anti-Lasix agenda in a few years?

Exactly...could they end up saying that they won't use your race if you let Lasix horses run?

I'm just saying....

A third in the Sunland Derby is as important as a win in the BCJ or Hollywood Futurity?

Do the morons who run CD do ANYTHING right??????

They can't possibly exclude the IL Derby, right? That had to have just been an oversight. Why would the UAE Derby be counted and not the IL Derby?

So none of the races at Saratoga, including the Hopeful, matter? Wow.

At least that ridiculous Delta Jackpot is no longer a free pass.

Sure they could. Churchill wants Hawthorne gone. Recently there has been lawsuits back and forth and bad blood with Mr. D, because Mr. D bought the 'notes' that are on Hawthorne as a strategic move.

Arlington want Hawthorne to run a Keeneland type meet in April because that would mean more simucast revenue for AP, and they feel that the racing in Feb/March is subpar and drains the purse funds, plus they also feel that them not racing Feb and March would allow Arlington to offer even better purses because of that simulcast revenue.

I actually somewhat agree with Arlington on the issue, but it is how Churchill goes about the whole thing that always leaves a bad taste in people's mouths

Others who wouldn't have made the starting gate:

Sea Hero
Charismatic (24 points - 40 points is the expected cutoff)
