Title: Ky Derby Point System
Post by: badolpuddytat on April 16, 2014, 06:03:04 AM
I'm sure that the point system will be here for some time but I think it needs a little tweaking. The UAE Derby is worth 100 points. Why not make it worth 30 points to the winner. (30 points would get you into the Derby), most horses from Dubai don't come here anyway. Make the Ill. Derby worth 50 points, since some good horses have come from that race. Also you might want to let ANY filly that wins one of the Ky. Oaks races worth 100 points into the Derby if the connections want to run in the Derby. Right now there will NEVER be another Winning Colors or any filly in the Derby. Just me, I don't think a UAE Derby  should be worth that much!!! now I will get off my soap box!! I see that Cairo Prince has made it into the Derby. I HATE GODOLPHIN!!!!  ( horse has a chance too, at least I think he has). thumbsdown thumbsdown

Not a bad idea to make changes.
No reason to  make the UAE Darby worth so many points

IL derby will probably never be a derby race. Hawthorne is not part of the Churchill Downs system of racetracks.I don't think the owners "get along" with that group
