This is partially why I was so honery about the hearings the other day. The racing secretaries group resolved 2 years ago to card more routes in the attempt to reinforce opportunities for older horses. That has morphed into a cohesive program incorporating 10-12f events leading to the BC Dirt Marathon and I can't see why there would be disdain at its' prospect.
