Billy Reed sums it up nicely. He also takes the time to school Christine Brennan who embarrassed herself by agreeing with Coburn's original idiotic premise: http://www.kyforward.com/our-horses/...r-bad-manners/

That's a great article; thank you for the link.

I really liked the $1 million bonus VISA gave to the horse that amassed the most points in all 3 races; I wish racing could find a sponsor to bring that back, because it meant there would be some sort of overall "winner" every year, no matter whether a TC was a possibility or not.

yep, and i bet you'd have more participation in the other 2 legs if there was an assured bonus to the top point getter.
