@kohanesexual@haatsupui It's not that they have a bias towards big clubs, it's just that the big clubs have most of the good horses since 2010 and they're focusing on more recent eras.
I see often see people comment on the organizers around the Arc using the Japanese horses for advertising, but it makes sense so that they can emphasize this being a real "world championship" race, since top European horses just all run the same rotation now anyway
Thinking about it Puro Magic is probably gonna be champion older mare (and depending on how they want to judge it should get a good number of votes for champion sprinter too?)
@fagnestachyon@694Demigodz Would make more sense if he was a genuine 12f horse and Lomgchamp's straight was significantly shorter, but he'll probably just cede the lead and track behind
