The mistake they made is that they're basically never going to get Grade I caliber horses anymore. Grade I caliber horses are going to run in the Manhattan or Monmouth Stakes. They were consistently getting Grade I caliber horses when it was restricted to 3YOs.
They'll also give out 650k in these three stakes races and probably handle less than that. I hope, for their sake, that they stay the hell away from CD in terms of post times.

Have you been to Colonial? At this point I feel like they are just throwing anything at the wall and hoping it sticks. Though I completely agree with you that this was the wrong move.
Action Andy is a fun little horse, I'm glad he'll be running here again.
