a belated xmas present!!
i am THRILLED to see this news. everytime it was asked, i said we need a filly sprint, a dirt mile. a two day festival.
the turf for juvies an added bonus. i love that as well--how many more euro horses will we draw? how many will then stay to make the leap to dirt and the ky derby the following spring? also, we need to boost turf racing here in america, this is a great step. as an aside, the eclipse awards need to be expanded.
this is fantastic, thanks for posting this news!
and i guess this also explains the visit to monmouth a few months ago. you guys remember that? rumors started that maybe the bc would pull out, i guess they were just ironing out the details.
