I can hardly wait.

They should make a Kentucky derby and Triple Crown part II for 4yo's to keep the good ones around!

they do.

Its called the Whitney, Woodward, and Jockey Club Gold Cup.

if winning a Grade 1 at Saratoga or at the Fall Championship meet is not enough for an owner to keep a horse in training as a 4YO, no race will.

on the west coast, theres the the triple that Lava Man accomplished this year.
