I don't get it. Is the race to blame,the distance,the connections? It adds a third dirt race for 3 and up at a middle distance. If you eliminate the race you have a six furlong sprint and a mile and a quarter route for all 3@up males to point for.
I wonder how all the horses that should've pointed for the sprint (including 2 horses that actually won the mile) would have been any better off being an also ran in a different race. After all they all couldn't have won it.

As for Liam's Map I would want him in the Classic but if the connections decide a daughter of Trippi wouldn't be able to produce a 1 1/4 racehorse (or whatever their reasoning) I just accept it and move on. Eliminating the Mile won't force the hand of any connections to run in the Classic. They'll simply find another place and time to run.
