I have no idea. It's just worked that way for a long time and given the grueling nature of the race, logically it makes sense to have needed that 2YO foundation. Rules are made to be broken, of course- and your analysis is the only way I see it as well.
This race interests me zero, therefore for every 5 minutes I spend on it I'll take an hour on the undercard races.
