Stayers are woefully uncatered for in the US, no wonder the breeding industry is increasingly demanding speed, speed, speed. And, it would at least be one race Europe would win every year!

LOL! I couldn't agree more. They breed for speed and I believe it's hurting the breed in the long run. It'd be a fantastic idea for American breeders to buy up the European mares bred to go long in order to add some distance capability in our stock.
