Reduce the prize money for the Grand National by a factor of ten and I might agree with you, but until then it shouldn't be done.

The race is worth twice as much as any other race in the jumps calendar, the Gold Cup included and it is run over a distance that is more extreme than any other race. Why would you not go to the trouble of devising a fairer handicap specifically for such a special and important race?
