Why can't the races be run over the mile with the same race condition's ? Sam said it is to give the horse's a chance at racing in a $12,000 final, well run it over a proper distance so at least the horse and sire and dam get a better time for them on paper surely this would be better than a Thoroughbred distance with Greyhound colour's and a race win you don't get a time for.
Coloured number's i agree is good but the driver's colour i don't. If my horse race's i want my colour's on not a dog's colour on the driver.
