Problem with that is how are you going to run your 2 yr old in 4 or 5 grade one's or two's? That would have eliminated Action This Day and Halfbridled and a bunch of others and Pleasantly Perfect , because he only had one graded prep before he won the breeders cup.

we seem to have wandered far off the original topic of this string.

to get it back, i want to propose that for every grade 1 winner entered in a race they add 5 billion dollars to the purse and everyone in attendance at the track gets laid.

that should resolve issues of early retirement and declining attendance.

i can't believe no one else has thought of this.

I'd prefer your plan if adjusted so the trainer/jock/stable gets to get lucky, and the patrons on-track get to split 5 billion dollars.

how about they add a billion dollars to the purse and everyone gets laid 5 times instead?

except for pg1985, who wouldnt need the free door prize. his prize would be to have someone take him seriously.
