I hope the American 1000 Guineas at Arlington gets G3 status, and there is one prep for the Million that is ungraded that should be graded.

I'm really surprised the Guineas didn't get a GIII this year. Oh well.

About f'ing time.

Not sure I agree with the Vanderbilt getting upgraded, especially in light of the Tom Fool getting downgraded, but whatever. Overall I think they did a good job.
