as for your second point, why would changing the distance do any more to increase fan base than what the distances are now? what does measuring a furlong have to do with drawing viewership? also, having races close together like they are now doesn't allow the event to dim in our relatively short memories. you drag out the series, you lose the drama, hype and excitement.
exactly what do you feel would be accomplished by making these changes to shorter distances and greater spacing? a horse who is a success would be just as valuable to breeders as they are now, the purses would still be too small to make it worthwhile to race rather than breed, and any minor injury would still necessitate retirement, as risk would still outweigh possible rewards in returning a horse to the track.
