11 race BC not stupid enough..

[Travis Stone]

I think there is legitimate concern regarding the added races, and the proposal of additional races. I think racing should consider a point in time when "enough is enough" and you then focus on your existing product - improving it and making it better.

I also feel this is representative of a larger issue: the general stakes structure in our nation. As stated, there are too many grade one races and the product has been severely dilluted.

I'm a huge proponent of reversed grading. Grade the race after it's carded - not after it's been run - but after the field has been assembled. I think that'd make for a very interesting dynamic at the entry box.
