I think not having rabbits is a good thing, I think with them, the race is otherwise going to be a slowly pulling away, one man show. I don't like watching slowly pulling away, one man show races because you have to watch the entire race without any action. Not having rabbits keep the action going all the way through, as the suspense is kept up by surges, long kicks/short kicks, many lead changes, and an exciting finish. In a rabbited race, these athletes who aren't the traditional favorites won't have their chance to upset the best in the world, and create new champions. Not having rabbits let the REAL CHAMPIONSHIP RACERS rise to the top.
