your're probably right.
i used to look forward to the season openers particularly the first 3 or four saturdays in august as they usually brought up the past seasons graduating horses but they seem thin on the ground.
sydney has lost its magic over recent years and i dont know what will rescue it.
one or two good horses are not enought.
the lonhro's and defiers are one thing but the other good horses seem to lack longevity.
grand armee is an exception but generally most of the fade so quickly that the racing loses its appeal.
but i know i shouldnt knock but sydney should be able to do much better.
bigger fields, good horses performing longer/multiple seasons would help.
