That is interesting indeed. Thanks to Djk for taking the time to do the research!

So if this sample is a true representation of the new economics of racing, then over the long run the food is virtually free, you end up ahead in the dragon cash department, and you get half the amount that we used to in gems. Did you happen to compare the XP rewards as well? For me, that is the main reason I race, and the food was definitely a nice bonus. But now it takes much longer to build up your food stores, so for those of us still needing to level up their dragons (I'm just about done upgrading my shrines to silver), I'm going to have to wait longer to do this or spend a boatload of DC on farming. :/ So although the new track rewards mean that food is basically free in the long run, more patience and/or DC spending is needed. So basically if you've already upgraded your dragons to lvl 20, this really doesn't affect you, but for the rest of us it's going to be much more of a struggle. Another example in life of making the poor work harder than the rich had to to get ahead. Way to go BFS, for making DV more like real life! (Half kidding) Lol!
