Last I heard, there will not even be an Illinois Derby this year. Pre-points, it produced a Derby starter most years including winner War Emblem. Lack of bona fide prep status killed what was a $750k purse in its prime. Would be nice if it could at least be a 20 point wild card like the Lexington should it ever come back.
