Speaking of maidens, I see that Pletcher has entered Crupi in the Risen Star. He can probably place and show to enough points to enter the starting gate.

Ha. Well, lets be fair. That last Maiden to win the Kentucky Derby was in 1933.
90 years ago.
The Kentucky Derby and all the Triple Crown hoopla really didn't have much merit or hoopla till the 70s. Even the great Secretariat merely ran against 12 other foes. Seattle Slew a mere 14. Mighty Affirmed beat all of 10 in 1978.
