It annoys me racing changes the rules to help mediocrity, slow horses, perform. Do they handicap the All Blacks, Usane Bolt, of course not and the public love seeing champions win and everyone loves playing/racing against them, wanting to be the one who defeats the champion. Mediocre slow horses don't get people through the gates. Black Caviar filled race courses to the point the gates had to be closed. If we want people to return to the races give them winners who keep winning. I remember Sunline filling the HB Racing course on a bitterly cold Mudgway Partsworld race day. Whatever the grade, punters want more certainty, instead of raising the top weight, making the spread wider, so to quote "those horses at the lower end of the weights scale will be more competitive". Let winners win and keep winning, that's life, that is what we want to see.
