Belmont is the closest thing to CD in what it can offer, but I HATE the fact they run one-turn races for both the Juvenile and Juvenile Fillies....absolutely hate it......it gives horses like Wild Fit (closing sprinters) a chance to win the races.....they are not a legit 'route' races and true sprinters can be fooled enough to run huge in the races....check Henny Hughes in last year's Juvy..damn near won it on the lead...

Im of the opposite opinion.
I think at the age of 2, the champion should not be decided by who runs best in a route race.
i think the BCJ and BCJF should be run at 8f.
at the age of 2, its about who develops the quickest.
its not supposed to be an indication of who is goiing to be the best 3YO or older horse down the line.
on the Arc undercard, they run their biggest 2YO races of the year for Europe(Grand Criterium and Prix Marcel) at 7 and 8f respectively.
thats the way it should be done here.
its ridiculous to run the BCJF at 8.5f and the BC Distaff at only 9f.
its the same damn race. horses are not expected to progress more than .5f in a year's time?
