HP,
Didn't they already try that with the ACRS series in the early 90's?? Didn't trainers still try to pick their spots despite the bonus structure?? Maybe there's a way to try something again; however, I agree with ClassH. The big money to be earned through breeding gives an owner no incentive to continue racing. It just appears to be a cycle that I don't think will ever change. Not unless the yearling prices go down which doesn't seem likely.

Regarding Ghostzapper, I had to laugh over all of the gushing regarding his last race. You would think this year's version of the Met Mile was one of the best ever. Please. An off form Forest Danger and 4 overmatched also rans. He impressed more people in this race than in the BC Classic?? Frankel can make more money selling whatever it is he's smoking than through a couple shares of GZ. I am so tired of this guy.
