The Kentucky Derby was more of a puzzle & I enjoyed it more like trying to figure out the Rubik's Cube. With the cheap speed out of the race now that the point system has eliminated it, we haven't seen any 20-1 or 50-1 longshots get a chance to win the race.
Point Given would have won the derby in 2001 if there wasn't cheap speed, although I bet & won with Monarchos, I still think Point Given would have won & been a triple crown winner with the new point system.
I personally prefer the old system, if the derby allows UAE horses, European horses, etc......why not allow cheap speed & anybody else that can get in with warnings?
Anyway, the favorites have dominated 5 str years.......let's see what happens this year.
