how bout the Stephen Foster, Whitney, and Woodward for the tc for older? with a nice bonus thrown in for the sweep.

That sort of thing would have a tough time coming out of any national racing organization. How are you going to get the tracks that are left out to agree? I don't see anyway to pick 3 races and try to give them elevated status above the other Grade I's. The Calif tracks would scream, as would Gulfstream and others.

The only way something like that could happen would be for 2 or 3 tracks to put it together themselves. They could link 3 races with a bonus for the sweep and a bonus for "most points", based on some criteria.

I wish something like that would happen. In the meantime, thank heavens for the Breeders Cup.
