What a coincidence! I was just thinking about a way to help the breed refocus its emphasis on stamina and durability. My idea was to lower the purses for the Juv and Juv Fillies to $500,000 and put the saved $1,000,000 towards the Turf and Filly Mare Turf races. The idea being that if the purses for 2yo's were not so big, that owners and trainers of 2 yo's would be more patient with their horses and await the bigger prizes as 3 yos and up.
But alas, someone came up with a "better" idea and raised the purses to $1.5 million.
