Wouldn't G2 winners just become more valuable? You'd probably have horses ducking the G1's then to try and get an easy win in a G2 when the top horses are all running in one of the G1s.

In other words it would be a pointless move that would accomplish nothing?
Yeah Sniper, you got it.
Year round racing needs to matter again.

No because you would reduce the number of Grade II and III races.
