Increase the traditional scale of weights a few pounds at least. Take the burden off of everyone and have your athletes in something closer resembling peak form and mental acuity and hopefully have safer, cleaner races and safer, cleaner riders. If horsemen are given a million and ten ways to incrementally ruin a horse and a marathon is now nine furlongs, I don't think a few pounds is asking much.
