"The first Saturday of the meet was top heavy with stakes races because of the Breeders' Cup Win And You're In promotion. The first Spa Saturday featured the Grade I Whitney, Grade I Go for Wand, Grade I Diana and Grade II Vanderbilt.
That won't happen next year. Hayward said the Breeders' Cup people already have told him there will be no Win and You're In here.
"We were told they aren't going to do any races at Saratoga or Arlington in the summer," Hayward said."
So my question is are they scrapping the program or is the Arlington Million, Secretariat, Beverly D and Saratoga stakes excluded from the program?
This will be interesting for sure.

didn't they say last year that the win and you're in races were on espn and its parent company, abc? who will be televising the four races you said are on the outs next year? maybe that has something to do with it...are all of the ones included in the program on those two stations only this year? i haven't paid attention to who is televising what, which is why i ask...
