I think the win in your in day at Saratoga did nothing to help the track. I hope they go back to the old structure next year.
if that's the case, then it's just a bunch of trumped up hype that should be gone anyway. If you win and you're in, that should cover the gate fees, etc.... but unfortunately, that also makes sense.

it really is a silly concept, since if you're not already nominated, you win and have to pay thru the nose to get in. it would be different if it actually got you in the race without having to go thru all that.
yeah, like that's gonna happen.
