I love seeing the big purses, I just don't think it should be a free pass to the Derby. A good 2yo season should be a factor.

name a good horse that will miss the entry gate this year because they lack graded earnings.

let's be sure there's a problem before we replace an easily understood straight forward qualifying system with some rube goldberg contraption.

The rules are the rules. Everyone knows them and everyone lives by them. Who gets in gets in. The current system is Rube Goldberg for dummies.
