Story from Thoroughbred Times
Just like last year, the Breeders' Cup is going for Grade 1 status for the 3 new races, and they are considering another $1 million race for the program.
They at least had Grade 1 winners in two of the three new races, which should help their cause, but I still am not sure they should go straight to a Grade 1, although I can see the argument from both sides.
Do you think they will receive the G1 status, and what are your feelings about adding another big race this soon?
