Shackleford I believe is literally 20th on the earnings list... with quite a few decent pots yet to go. Yea, yea... anything can happen, and often does. But, what does it say about the system when the runner-up to the Derby's second choice (by a whisker) might not be in the race?

It says it's working?

Why should one decent performance, after several mediocre ones, earn a horse a spot in the Derby? I know, it has earned others, but that doesn't mean they all should get a spot.

He had the same fair chance everyone did.

$200,000 will be enough.
