no
what we're saying is it's a shame that you have restricted racing drawing off good horses who would otherwise be running in races such as the donn, and giving it a reason to be a graded race. there have got to be better ways to reward in-state breeders than having sunshine million-type events. if you want to draw attention to your breeding program, seems winning a graded race would do far more for you than winning a restricted race. black type stands out far more than money won.
