Think of it this way......you could have a horse race just once in one of the big three preps and that horse is in with just one race. My point is that this philosophy is bad for racing. I know that it is highly unlikely, but it is a possibility. Why on earth would we support a system that possibly encourages horses to race less often. This isnt about Tiago or any other horse. It is about the system we have in place to decide who runs in arguably the most important race in the world. I fear that the trend would be once you have the graded money to sit out until the 1st Saturday in May. Quay is sitting out 8 weeks, Scat Daddy is 6 (I believe), SS and Great Hunter only had 2 Preps. This is not a trend that I like.
