The biggest problem, as I see it, with the author of this threads "argument " is that he has not offered a reasonable alternative. Instead he came up with a very questionable list ( Sightseeing? ) of who he thought was more deserving. Luckily at least the current system does not include subjective decision making.
It isn't a perfect system, but it is fair in that it allows horses a chance to prove their way in by earnings, and as has been pointed out VERY few deserving horses have been excluded and those that have possibly been excluded were because they failed to win at least one necessary race.
