The Futurity, under its three different names since its inauguration in 1981, has produced:

1983-Life's Magic (3rd) Won BC Distaff 1985-Champion Older Female
1985-Snow Chief-Preakness, Champion 3yo. Ferdinand 3rd-Derby/BC Classic/HOTY
1986-Alysheba (2nd)-won KY Derby, Preakness, BC Classic/HOTY-Hall Of Famer
1990-Best Pal-won all kinds of stuff-Hall Of Famer
1991-AP Indy....no need to list them but Hall Of Famer indeed.
1994-Thunder Gulch (2nd)-Derby/Belmont/Travers winner-3yo Champion
1997-Real Quiet-Dual Classic winner beaten a nose for the TC
1999-Captain Steve-Dubai World Cup
2000-Point Given-Dual Classic winner-HOTY/Hall Of Famer
2004-Giacomo (2nd)-KY Derby winner
2008-Pioneerof The Nile-2nd KY Derby-sired American Pharoah ('nuff said)
2009-Lookin At Lucky-Preakness/Champion 2yo and 3yo colt
2013-Shared Belief-Champion 2yo-won Big Cap huge
2014-Dortmund-Firing Line 2nd-finished 3rd/2nd respectively in KY Derby behind American Pharoah

I don't believe there is a 2yo race anywhere in the country since 1981 that has produced that kind of fire-power. No less than FOUR Hall Of Famers in that crowd, and multiple Eclipse Award Champions in various divisions 2yos & up out the WAZOO!

The idea that this race could "go away" is just unthinkable!
