It has been some time since real contneders raced in the DT. I believe it used to be held on the Tuesday before the Derby.

though they have very little in common in regards to running style as soon as i read this i thought of Circular Quay............

to each is own, wouldn't be surprised if he floated up in the futures though

I think the last horse to win the DT and a TC race was Creme Fraiche?

Back to back years in the early 90s the Derby Trial winner placed in the Preakness.

It's a good decision. I'm hoping this will catch on in other sports. Like boxing. Have about 6 fights and retire and have your trainer talk about how great you were. It would help the sport tremendously.
