Nothing against Arabian races in general (not something I pay attention to) but do we really need this?

Maybe I'm mean.

Calling it the World Thoroughbred Championships and then carding something for a different breed outside of that but still on the day is silly. Someone commented they've put an Arabian race on the Arc card, is that true? I love the breed, but they don't need to be doing non-TB stuff during a TB championship. It's a bit of a stretch to connect it to the origination of the breed. I assume there was a financial contribution involved?
