Coming in 2nd in one of these 100k allowances races is as good as 3rd in a group level race and you get a softer field.
When Tiznow won the Goodwood in 2000, it had a 500K purse which is about 850K now, the same race now under the Awesome Again name goes for 300K this week.
Just zero incentive to run in group races under set weights and face the top of the divisions.
