To some, Horseracing really is a sport and not just an avenue where the most important thing is the pari-mutuels (although we like it to be sometimes) What if the Patriouts had to carry around an extra 10 pounds on there back because they are supposed to be "superior" or Jordan had to wear 10 pound ankle weightsto make the competition fair. How about this? The best horse, with the best ride, whos trainer did the best job wins. And if its 30 lengths so be it. I'll just have to search for my value else where.
