Just curious, but is the relationship between a "2" and a "7" the same relationship that exists between a "22" and "27"?

I suppose since the change is affecting everyhorse, it is immaterial, but it does seem to me that I look at races differently depending on what kind of a number is necessary to win it.

For example, if a higher number will win a race, I am more forgiving of small differences, than I am when a very low number is necessary to win a race. Another way to look at it is this, when I see a "2" is needed to win, I may say anybody who is going to run a 5 or worse is a throwout. However, if a 22 is needed to win a race, I will think that a horse that can run a "25" is worth including if the odds are good.

Who knows, this all could be figments but just thought I would raise it.
