Instead they added 5 overnight stakes costing NYRA $500,000 NYRA money and they still do not have a 10F race for older horse at Saratoga. I think that is a disgrace for a track of Saratoga’s renown.

Hasn't it already lost its Graded status? I don't think it's been run in at least two years.

That being said, take a good look at the Suburban and tell me what we would get for this race and why it should be run. The five overnight stakes have a real chance to get good and full fields.....like it or not, the Saratoga Cup, at 10 Furlongs, was a huge favorite to get neither. IMO, you are advocating the running of one bad race over five good ones.
