Message: [QUOTE="br801, post: 5235100, member: 932"] I get that the 'big race day' concept is here to stay, but they would do well to have something better than a listed stakes as the feature race on many Sundays. There's something to be said for tradition, and they've been tossing a lot of that in the garbage over time in an effort to monetize the racing experience, in my opinion. It wasn't that long ago that you saw a graded stakes carded almost any day of the week they were running. And if most people can't distinguish a 12 claimer from a graded race, what are they really gaining by watering down the racing product 80% of the time? [/QUOTE]
