No.

Probably got more to do with older horses now being aimed at the big meetings in America and the Far East, as Nick Mordin posits.

I know it`s 3 centuries of history but it is a bit odd.
Can you imagine a 17-y-o being given 100 metres start over 1500 in The Olympics next year. It`s much the same thing.

Don´t you think scarpping´s a bit too much?

Which one(s) DJQ,wfa or the sex allowance,or both?

Imo solely for the Arc the fillies allowance should be scrapped,no weaker than the 3yo colts by this time.
