every spring race leading up to the derby is called a prep-and some are with million dollar purses. obviously the jcgc would have been a nice race to win...but blame lost that battle and won the war. sounds like it all worked out just fine. and yes, it is a prep. one with a nice purse, but a prep for bigger and better all the same.

Imagine the idea that running in a prep race is what is wrong with the game? It's the complete opposite. Horses not running is a huge part of what is wrong with the game. That is why we see 5 horse stakes races. Because everyone would rather duck and dodge for the perfect spot instead of running.
