The Vosburgh was pretty much all that was necessary.

It was such a great race before the BC when it was 7F and at Aqueduct. This is one of those examples when the good old days really were the good old days.

Yep, that is what it looked like. A lot of winners had little but a Vosburgh win. The Fall Highweight seemed an important race, and I guess big races around one turn at 1m carried some weight as well.
