How can they call a 12 furlong race a marathon??? That in itself is a joke.
There were reports in our racing press that the BC people were discussing the idea of a staying race and it was assumed it would be a 14 furlong race.
I do agree that they are making too much of it now. Field sizes will no doubt drop with these added races.
As someone said, it is becoming too much of a good thing.
Whats next, a race for greys only?
