Since there are 20 horses you've got some that have 10-15 times the graded earnings as the ones that just manage to scoot by on the bottom of the list. Yet they are all treated equally for the pp draw?

I just think its unfair that a horse like Storm In May, a horse that should be more than 100/1 to win the race, should chose in front of the top money earners. And by the same token I think it would have been unfair if Street Sense, the most qualfied horse to run in the race accoring to the earnings, would have had the misfortune of drawing 20th.
