As much as the added races may weaken the fields for a few established races, the turf race will attract some Euros, the mile might allow a horse like Discreet Cat to participate in the BC even when the Shieks have a Bernardini, and the Filly and Mare Sprint will draw some really top mares who otherwise skip the Sprint so they don't have to face the top males. In my opinion, the pluses and minuses balance out.
