P-Dub,
That's pretty much my point. There is simply not enough evidence to throw out or downgrade a live Derby contender just becuse he has 2 vs. 3 preps. Especially since he's showing a hot angle. I really don't know where this prep race controversy began. Maybe because the way the Derby is run, people are often disappointed in their choices. Maybe some think that turning around the principles of handicapping is a way of dealing with this. I think the Derby is more often decided by luck than how many preps a horse has.
