Raw, you are right, the KY Derby is for 3 yo. and is contested on the first Saturday in May. I guess the $800,00 is a supplement for THe Classic and the $400,000 is for the turf or mile(I heard $300,000 for the Mile but who knows). I wouldn't personally put up that kind of money myself, but I hope Makin does. I gotta check this Makin character out.
