Kentucky Derby Results 2013: The Largest Lessons Learned in Run for the Flowers

I've maintained that 20 horses breaking all at one time is an excessive amount of. Too much disorder, too much traffic, only too much. I get why Churchill Downs Inc. does it: 1. It pushes bet handle upa'way up. 2. A second could be the spectacle of seeing this cavalry charge set off in the very first quarter mile. It is an incredible sighta'amazingly noisy and kinetic. But it doesn't make for a fair race. For just about any who've watched the residual Triple Crown events or the Breeders' Cup Classic, 14 is the maximum. Trust me, that's still an incredible stampede to observe. Six horses every year haven't any business being in the starting gate. This really is America's top race, the race every trainer on the planet wants to get, and adding 20 horses of moderate power waters down the sauce. Fourteen horses will make for a truer competition that is no less exciting to watch. But it will not happen. Perhaps not when handle is $184 million for the day's card.
