They should let the race "die for ever".. Seriously until Racetracks start to work in concert with each other this stuff will not stop.. What is so hard about keeping the big races were they belong.. Why Lone Star needs a mil dollar weekend for non tx bred animals is ridiculous waste of money. If they ran 20% less and did away with these 300k races and infused the same dollars into 80% of the current dates they would attract bettors, horseman, and owners.
What would happen is in time better stock would emerge from a better overnight program. Then once the stock is truly available you can entertain a race of added purse level and prestige.
In the meantime shouldn't we have 12 in the Just a Game before we give away 200k in some BS turf race at Lone Star.
