And even worse made the mile and an eigth races exteremely hard to win from outside post 5?
Trainers only have one two turn option, a mile and an eigth, and many three year olds don't wanna go that far in Jan and Feb and even in March.
It wasn't exactly well thought out, to say the least.

I don't know enough about it to address it. I have only spoken to people about layoffs and how longer layoff and 7-8 race campaigns are going to become the norm for good horses. I try not to talk about things I don't know about, unlike some people that need to comment on everything (see post count).
