I picked up $900 on a race at Laurel early on - thanks to winning a photo I still swear I lost. An 8/1 shot had consistantly been running superior figures to the field - and was doing it by closing into slow paces. The horse was 1-for-34 though - and pretty much a refuser. The favorite had a huge pace advantage in a field of total slugs. The refuser almost nailed me in what would have been a bitter loss because I didn't turn anything. I was down until the Rahy's Attorney - Muskateer exacta. Ended up $140 ahead after giving a lot more back in cheaper races.

Basically - I won a nose photo at Laurel that was ultimately the difference between winning about $140 instead of losing $760 for the day. I doubt anyone who read that was saying "Damn, I wish I had a day like that"

Time to replace the Graded earnings rule with a Graded points rule such as the following:
Grade I -9 pts. for win, 6 for place, 3 for show Grade II - 6 pts. for win, 4 for place, 2 for show Grade III- 3 pts. for win, 2 for place, 1 for show Horses like Twice the Appeal and Pants on Fire?

I like a point system, but I think points for a graded stakes at age 2,
should be worth less than a graded stakes at age 3.

Yes, because the current system keeps worthy horses out of the Derby. Oh wait, it doesn't.
