Belmont has 1 1/8 juvenile turf races (Pilgrim/Miss Grillo) that could be relocated and shortened to provide its version of a prep.

I think that Saratoga has an unlisted juvenile turf race ($65K, the Phil Johnson?), too. I'm sure NYRA will have something at its Saratoga meet as a follow-up to the 6F juvenile turf races that it runs in July.

The races will be juggled or invented to fit the Breeders' Cup. It will happen.

All ungraded except maybe the summer (gr3?) I think Belmonts races are now ungraded
