This is the final paragraph. It sounds like the Committee as issued a pretty strong rebuke to the Breeders' Cup regarding it's expansion plans. I must say that w/ the exception of possibly a F/M Sprint, I agree. In fact, I agree with the editorial on the main page of Derby Trail. Steve is spot-on.

Yeah, I just read the article and I agree with the reasoning used by the committee. Like you, I think the F/M Sprint deserved it. We already have the Humana Distaff, A Gleam, Ballerina, Princess Rooney, and more that are G1F/M sprints. It'll probably get a grade 1 next year I bet.
