You still have to tell me where three grade/group 1's are contested at on the same day. It doesn't happen very often.

Mike would be better qualified to answer this. But if I had to guess at a couple it would
1) Breeders Cup Day
2) Somewhere on the Keeneland meet
3) Derby Day (maybe only 2 but could have 3 if they wanted)
4) Belmont Day (again, same situation as above)
5) Florida Derby Day
6) California has to have a couple also
You have to realize also that Arlington has ONE DAY a year, where the other tracks space out their Grade 1's to get a constant flow of customers.
If Arlington were to run those races on different days, it wouldn't have the same effect as it does
I would take a meet like Gulfstream, Keeneland, or Saratoga has over Arlington's 1 day anytime, anywhere, any place
