When a horse is that dominant, people seek out purse money and graded races elsewhere rather than conceding 1st and running for 2nd or 3rd.

Good post, Wayne. I have written and said many times: A huge problem with racing nowadays is that nobody with a live horse willingly risks a loss. And you can't coronate winners without quality losers as affirmation.
And this stubborn unwillingness to lose results in 3/5 winners and 12 length margins-unbettable races, that is.
