The last at Melton tonight is an example of what I had hoped the tiered system might reduce
A 4yo who won about $150k as a 2 & 3yo going around in a $3,500 race - they are figuring "why not win $1,750 instead of going around in a trial"

You don't see this as much in the gallops - is it because they figure a horse has only so many runs in its legs or is it that the weights/eligibility system does not create many 'gimmes'
