Crazy Ideas
While on a long drive down the boring road, some thoughts came to my head. I was wondering would some kind of incentive plan work to help attract higher quality fields than what we are seeing these days. If this doesn't make sense, forgive me as I didn't totally think it all the way out. So I was thinking that instead of wasting money creating these stupid new BC races, they could put that money to better use. I was thinking that they could add $50k to the purse of each race that attracts a previous grade one winner to the field. For each horse, they could add $50k. For example, if the Whitney draws three horses that are grade one winners, there would be $150k added to the purse. I was thinking lesser amounts for grade two winners ($25k) and grade three winners ($10k). The money that is added to the purse could be distrubuted in the same manner as the rest of the purse or to make it more interesting, it could be winner take all. Is this something that could possibly be done? If it could be, do u think it would work?
