The current poll on HRA site re:

voting poll

Which age group would you prefer to see race for the highest stake levels?
2 year old (6%)

3 year old (32%)

4 year old (22%)

5+ year old (40%)

Total Votes: 172


Does anyone else think that stakes money for 2yo's ( in some instances considerably higher than stakes races for 3yo's) is out of whack?

Can anyone offer explanations for this?

I personally think it's because commercial breeders were having more than their fair share of influence for about thirty maybe forty years...am I wrong??

Cheers,
