BC DERBY
I favor the opposite from what they are considering.
Too many horses fall by the wayside during the long campaigns they have.
Good 3-YO's start in Jan or Feb to prepare for the Derby and TC.
Hardly any of them are around by the end of the year.
The Fall meets, like Belmont, have lost much of their glory due to the BC.
If they want a BC DERBY, run it in late SEPTEMBER or the first week of OCTOBER. A horse could still run in the Classic against older in November.
