I agree with this but wouldn't you have to blame the tracks for the races? You know, what I find interesting is that it really feels to me that the talent levels between graded stakes horses and allowance or even top level claimers is as thin as it's ever been so I would think you'd get more trainers to "take shots" in the graded stakes with horses that they wouldn't normally consider. Especially when it looks like a race is going to come up really light in numbers.
