It's actually worse than that.
Without the Mile you have a choice between 6F and 10F. Some very good horses are just not quick enough to get into contention at 6F and aren't going to get 10F in a race like the Classic. Most would be a big price in either race.
The real problem is the very good horses that duck the Classic because the 10F is a marginal issue or they want an easier spot (like Saint Liam).
