Its just awful, they should do away with them all together or at the very least only card these races on schmuck days like Mondays and Wednesdays, not take up half of Saturday cards with them.
The triple crown should be for 4 year olds and the races spaced one month apart. Never should a 3 year old have to come back in 2 weeks time after teh Derby. Shhhheeeesh.

The races with unraced 2 year olds are the hanging mole of the industry.No way should they be in the pick 6.If people really cared about the integrity of the sport,they would have these only at the start of the card,or on certain days of the week etc.The problem is that the people who make changes like this(that need to be made)won't do it,because they don't want to give up the inside edge they have.This is not a new issue.It's simply greed.All I ask is they give you one pick 4 a day without unraced 2 year old maidens.I don't see that as an outrageous request.
