Any other rules that you think have to be followed?

I think you must not be Todd Pletcher to win the Derby

i read yesterday that if i want revenge wins, he'd be the first to win after taking the gotham and wood memorial. so i think that will be the latest 'rule' to be broken. so many have fallen by the wayside in the last few years.

I always loved Jim McKay and sometimes Charlsie Canty trying to get the "dosage index" explanation verbalized in seemless fashion relevant to the Kentucky Derby on the telecasts.

I loved Jim McKay connected to the Derby and Derby broadcasts.

But gosh, I don't think he ever got the whole "dosage index" thing out without tripping. And I believe the one time he handed off to Charlsie, she tripped, as well.

Somewhat relevant point being I don't factor dosage index. Heck though, maybe I should....

The 2yo rule is useless.90-95% of the horses entered have run at 2. The beyer rule is as good as any but why 100? I mean if I'm between two contenders one of which has won three grade 1's who's best beyer is 99 and another who has inconsistant form but achieved a 101 in one of his races I'm not going to let 2 beyer points get me off of the former.
