Not that these horses were the best in the field but they contributed to the pace factor.

But you've also got to remember that we may look at it and say "oh, this horse is more suited to a dirt mile."

Their connections may look at it and say, "oh, my horse is more suited to $5 Million instead of $1 Million."

It's going to create some interesting decisions. Is $4 million a good enough reason to test your horse an extra quarter mile?

If it's my horse it sure as heck is.

Good point with the purse amounts.

a belated xmas present!!
i am THRILLED to see this news. everytime it was asked, i said we need a filly sprint, a dirt mile. a two day festival.
the turf for juvies an added bonus. i love that as well--how many more euro horses will we draw? how many will then stay to make the leap to dirt and the ky derby the following spring? also, we need to boost turf racing here in america, this is a great step. as an aside, the eclipse awards need to be expanded.


this is fantastic, thanks for posting this news!

and i guess this also explains the visit to monmouth a few months ago. you guys remember that? rumors started that maybe the bc would pull out, i guess they were just ironing out the details.
