Rees addresses AGSC omission of Clark as G1 citing 'bias'..
How can the Clark still be a Grade II?
http://www.courier-journal.com/blogs...-grade-ii.html But wait... Instead of simply laying out the reasonable case for making the Clark a G1, she can't help but talk about 'bias' for East and West Coast interests... "I really believe there is institutional bias built into the system, where New York and California have the advantage because those tracks have more graded races, which means more of their horses are graded placed, which helps those races keep their grading." There's no AGSC bias more tilted than the one toward Lexington... I love Jennie, but the Committee kowtows to Keeneland like nobody's business. There has been constant pell mell upping of the grades of events at Keeneland for no especially apparent reason. If she wants the Clark upped to a Grade 1, which I have no issue with, doesn't the Blue Grass deserve at this point to be reduced to a Grade 2? Or have General Quarters, Monba and Dominican done too much to keep the Blue Grass' reputation pristine?
