 <![CDATA[The primary weakness of the former system was that the excessive number of qualifying events tended to reduce both field size and level of competition in those preps as well as the likelihood that starters would face one another prior to the Derby. Another was that horses which had not proven themselves either sufficiently talented or prepared, were not only keeping some legitimate Triple Crown contenders out of the Derby but compromised the chances of those that did get in. &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/Carryover-2-0'>MORE...</a>]]>
