Two races were down graded. They are the Clark and Matron.

New York will have 38 Grade I races, Cali will have 37 and KY will have 21.

There is more information on other graded races in the below link. The article can be read on bloodhorse.com

Euro in your haste to try and prove a point, you ain't real bright.
Its been suggested that a few of these grade ones on the Poly will be donwgraded should they have weaker fields in the future.
Since none of the races you just mentioned have ever been run on poly, how exactly does that send anything out the window.
Thats pretty stupid.
