Strong points, Steve.
I'm looking forward to the Filly & Mare Sprint. Why a Turf Sprint wasn't added is the real question. It just further solidifies the view that the powers that be in the industry have no idea what they're doing.

Good article although I disagree with the premise. I think the creation of these races will create demand for logical preps leading up to them especially in the Mile and the Juvenile Turf Divisions. Yeah, this year may be a little rocky but I think down the line it will be for the better of the sport and the preps will be created to make the races make sense. You do make a good point as to whether or not they will go directly to G1 status. I have been wondering that myself. I'd actually like to see them be G2 events so that they don't dilute the normal 8 BC races and instead supplement them with additional good racing and a reason to go to the BC site for the Friday before. I highly doubt that happens though.

Some solid arguments, however one point I definitely disagree with is that Monmouth is a questionable venue. It's a lovely, historic racetrack that has proven to handle large crowds well. It's about time they finally made it there.

I'd rather see a 250k turf sprint stakes on the undercard or something. It would draw pretty much the same field that a one million dollar race would anyway. No way this should be a BC race. I do question the use of the word ersatz in the article, but other than that, it is great.
