Trying to figure out how the Clark which has been the final gr 1 of the year for 3 and up hdcp horses and had full fields with top horses drops a grade but the goodwood which is often a 5 horse warm up for the Classic is promoted. Still mystified how they dont use any common sense or planning in making these decisions, just some delusional formula by which Giacomo running in a race raises it in stature. Maybe the 2 year olds in CA were underrepresented without Gr 1's but the Ladys Secret is not a better or more important race than the Cash call Mile which is a gr 2. I know it is different divisions but still hard to digest.
