I think I understand, and I think I understand why people say it's not fair... Tell me if I'm right.
Horse A - 17.0 Sec - 1D 1st place Winner
Horse B - 17.1 Sec - 1D 2nd place Winner
Horse C - 17.2 Sec - 1D 3st place Winner
Horse D - 17.4 Sec wins nothing
Horse E - 17.5 Sec wins nothing
Horse F - 18.0 Sec - 2D 1st place Winner
Horse G - 18.1 Sec - 2D 2nd place Winner
Horse H - 18.4 Sec - 2D 3rd place Winner
Am I right?
You got it.
The thing the people who don't win are not thinking about IMO, is they wouldn't have won the old way either. Right?? This makes it more fair because slower times do have a chance to win. Where as the old way, I saw $100 horses run as fast as open horses, so you had to have those faster times to be competitive. The "D" jackpots, give people who have green horses a chance to compete and win. Right?

I'm also thinking, a problem with the "D" races are someone could actually win last plase in one division and 1st in the next. I think, that I'm not sure of, but I can see where it is a possibility.
