Yes you are correct but they also expanded their playoff formats so more teams got in and got a chance to win. They do not have two Daytona 500's but they did add a another race in July that is essentially the same. The fans wanted more, they got it.
The system of elimination allows them to give everyone a chance and whittle things down. A horse who is peaking at the perfect time may be on the outside looking in Derby Day. (See Sinister Minister) What happens when the day comes when Japan ships a dozen runners over with more Graded earnings. That is the day when Frank Stronach runs a another race at one his tracks on the same day called The Great American Derby.
Now I know why she never called me in the first place........
