IMO, I think there are too many races given the label "Graded Stake"...
Having over 400 races as Graded, dilutes the product.
Also, allows connections to pick opportunities to yank down big purses while having the ability to dodge the better horses on the division.

A minimum purse of $100,000 should be necessary for any stakes race to be graded.
