I posted pretty much the same thing on another forum. Actually I titled it "La Canada = La Worthless". Makes no sense for it be a G1 when the only way it could even remotely pass for a G1 is if every 4yo skipped the La Canada to run in it. It is the equivalent of the San Antonio being a G1.
On the other hand the Las Virgenes has lived up to its G1 billing. 8 out of 9 are stakes winners (2 G1 winners) with the 9th being the most impressive maiden winner of the meet in Rags to Riches. 6 out of 9 are coming in off a win with two others coming in off a second to other horses in the race. The only horse not to finish 1st or 2nd is Cash Included who was fifth in the BC Juv Fillies last out.
