Dude... I bet New York Graded stakes alot. A graded stake with 8 or more is a full field in my book

That would actually be a more useful addition than this one.

They ought to call the new race the BC Futurity and run trials for it in late September and early October at Belmont, Calder, and Oak Tree.

There already is a Breeders' Cup Steeplechase event, and it's run at Far Hills, NJ. But it is considered a BC event.

How about a race restricted to non BC nominated horses, surface and distance to be determined after post draw?

The number of quality 2-year olds that are worthy of the Breeders Cup is already too low. Why add another race?

Soon, we'll see well-thought of maidens enter these 2-year old BC races, just like they'll occasionally do in 2-yo stakes races at Hollywood, Churchill, Calder and Belmont in the summer.

I like it better than the dirt marathon race, which is basically a race for those long winded plodders not fast enough to be competitive in graded stakes.

You might even get first time starters? Why not?
