re: 2019 Kentucky Derby

I used to live within walking distance of track, so I gambled a lot. But that was 20 years ago and I'll be honest that I barely follow horse racing these days, if at all. I thought it was a good call, for the record, but I'm not gonna claim a ton of expertise. But there's on thing I truly agree with:
The Derby has allowed the field to get out of control and there's too many horses that, frankly, have no business in the field just hoping to get lucky. It creates a dishonest race in which the best horse rarely wins due to the rough ride. They really should be looking at a reform to get the field down to a manageable number.

One thing to fix the Derby is to no longer allow 20 horses.

14 would probably be perfect.

The best horse actually wins a lot. The favorite has won the last several years in a row. Would have happened again but for the DQ.
