The point here is that the upper levels of the sport have slipped so bad that this is what we are left with. There are reasons why this has happened, a couple which u pointed out. What I'm saying is that there has to be something that can be done to change this tide. There has to be something that can be done to get us back to the days when there will be 10 actual GOOD horses on the list instead of two good ones and eight other fill-ins. Is it so bad to want more from the game? I mean, u don't even have to win a single race (Good Reward) to be a top 10 horse nowdays? A single grade three win (Park Avenue Ball and Flower Alley) can make u top 10 nowdays? No route wins at all (Sun King) can make u top 10 nowdays? A horse that is the reigning BC SPRINT champion and hasn't even run a route race this year (Silver Train), unless u count the Met Mile as a route, is top 10?
