Agreed, but what is the solution? Ā Canāt blame Burke for having 5 quality horses that are eligible and competitive. Ā I think a more cooperative nature between tracks and jurisdictions would be a start. Ā Having the Adios eliminations one week after The Meadowlands Pace is the biggest culprit. Ā Having automatic slots for the top money earners from state / provinces would be nice. Ā Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Ontario, New York, New Jersey, etc. Ā Sometimes you have to be creative and unique. Ā And where is Takter, Andrew Harris, Nifty Norman, Chris Ryder, etc.?
And donāt get me started when Kentucky has sire stake finals 5 days before The Little Brown Jug. Ā That is unnecessary and very narrow minded.
Love to see a points system leading to big bonus money for the best performers that tried the majority of the big races ( NA Cup, Meadowlands Pace, Battle of Brandywine, The Adios, The Little Brown Jug, Tattersalls, Breederās Crown, other?)
We need a centralized governing body to make these types of solutions a reality.
