Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember them mentioning it after last year. In recent years, there hasn't really been the need for 2 horses to qualify from the race as less and less good quality horses are racing on Derby day. Funny thing, as soon as they change it, we actually get two top horses going for one spot.

There's still a chance that Leica Falcon could get in without winning the race. Quite a few horses are dropping out of the running and by Cup time, he's probably going to be pretty close to the top 24.
