Handicap races are a double edged sword. I think if we sprinkled a few more on the calendar it might make for a couple of better gambling races, but the very best horses would avoid those specific races to avoid the big weight assignments. The only way you could sort of force them to run is if you made most of the big races handicaps and took away their options, but I don’t think anyone wants that either.
