England Gets It!!!! - TBA Victory shortly

FT.com / World - Horse-racing to award £2m prize Being a limey myself I take great pride in the fact that the English have figured it out. Please read this article, someone at TOBA/AGSC, NTRA, please read this article!!! Highlights, and really the whole thing is highlights - "In 2010, [All Group 1 Races] will be renamed the Sovereign Series, and points will be awarded according to each horse’s place in each race." "At the grassroots level, there is nothing significantly wrong with flat racing, but the broader sports audience can’t understand why one horse is better than another,” "season lacked a narrative" "reduce the number of horses going abroad" Simon Bazalgette you are my hero!!!! Why this is better than anything the US has put forth: It encompasses all the Gr I's, not a selective few (TBA would like the US to use all Graded Stakes), they are going to spend more on marketing than on the prize, they have someone who gets it in charge.
