Going Wild is a much better horse than he has shown in his last two races. Circumstances put him in a rating mode but to me it looks as if hes a much better free running horse. He still has to acquire the requisite earnings, but if he does so he certainly deserves to get into the race off the Sham win and a good second to the undefeated two year old champion. He's probably going to have to win a big race and theres not that many left so his chances of getting in are iffy at best.
Personally, I want him in because I believe theres some counterfeit speed that probably won't hold up if challenged and I'm leaning toward a horse that no one is high on right now. I heard Spanish Chestnut is leaning Derby and thats good news as well.
You can't restrict the number of horses a trainer runs. They run on earnings. Its fair to all. What is needed in these situations is an "also eligible" list. Maybe its in place. I dont' know.
