Good article although I disagree with the premise. I think the creation of these races will create demand for logical preps leading up to them especially in the Mile and the Juvenile Turf Divisions. Yeah, this year may be a little rocky but I think down the line it will be for the better of the sport and the preps will be created to make the races make sense. You do make a good point as to whether or not they will go directly to G1 status. I have been wondering that myself. I'd actually like to see them be G2 events so that they don't dilute the normal 8 BC races and instead supplement them with additional good racing and a reason to go to the BC site for the Friday before. I highly doubt that happens though.
