At 8 weeks out they would draw horses from everywhere who would then go split up for the final preps. At 5 weeks out they are just going to split the pool of horses even further off from the other major preps which means weaker pools for everyone. They'll never get G1 status from that. At 8 weeks out they could draw a great field each year with that purse increase.
