Why do I think that, if they were not broke, they'd think 14 divisions was still super

What is done is done and we are where we are... but at least we're hearing positive, proactive voices who used outside help to formulate a broad plan for the event going forward. What comes of it? Who knows.

Does that mean that the 3 mile super marathon for grey geldings is a no go for this year?

All this just a few weeks after the latest expansion of Win and You're In.

What could possibly have transpired in this short amount of time to inspire this potential turn around?

That was my initial thought as well. Indian Charlie should start a thread regarding this.

Interesting to see what they might cut. I will admit, I hadn't paid attention to the exact number of races they'd overextended themselves by.

That's what my brain read the first time.

Yes but the 3 mile super marathon for grey fillies/mares is still on.

Does before mean the original 7 races, or does it include the F&M Turf?

I'd include the F&M Turf. I'd probably eliminate the turf sprint race though, and maybe I'd eliminate the juvenile turf races.
