Exactly!
I read an article a while back, in Melbourne they were bringing back an 1800m 2yo race, worth 100k for late 2yo's
They said it was to aid those 2yo's heading for the early VRC derby (2500m), as we all know, its a big trip for early 3yo's and they also said it was to give owners like yourself who have horses who need ground etc. a chance to race for 100k at 2 and try and get some kind of return on their investment before having to wait 4 years for them to debut.
Whereas here, its hard enough to find staying races to suit 3yo's outside of the usual guineas races.
