“We’re incredibly excited about putting on a show like this for the local and national racing fans,” Charles Town racing administrator Erich Zimny said in a statement. “After the state-bred stakes are factored in, we will have four separate days offering $600,000 or more in stakes purses. By our count, the only tracks that happened at in 2008 were Keeneland, Saratoga, Belmont, Santa Anita, Hollywood, and Calder. That’s lofty company to be keeping.”

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I think Churchill (at minimum, Oaks, Derby, Foster, Clark days), Gulfstream (Donn, FL Derby, Sunshine Millions, and probably 1 or 2 other days), and Woodbine (Woodbine Oaks, Queens Plate, Mile, CDN International) also have 4 $600k days.
