He & horses of his ilk are still going to win their share, regardless. They don't need to donkey lick the others in races that often amount to little more than paid track work outings.
As I said, I'm not advocating a shut out...but at the same time when set down such races simply aren't standing up as regularly as they should because without such backs on them, the killers are able to drop in and so once they do nobody accepts and can you really blame them?
