There will still be a Derby winner, a Met Mile winner, a BC Classic winner every year. But it seems like more and more, the quality of the overall product is decreasing. And because so many people just sit and say "we should be lucky that we have a Bernardini this year" and are content with the continuous garbage that they are feeding us, there is no incentive for them to ever change anything. It won't be until we start demanding a better product that things will start to change. Why does everyone seem so content with the way things are and just resigned to accept that this is all we are going to get?

Until the breeders start breeding for quality instead of "cheap speed", we won't see the quality improve. The breeders won't do that because that isn't what sells. Just my two cents.
