I thought the series was a great idea, too. I was at the Pimlico Special when Farma Way beat Unbridled, Summer Squall, Festin, and Jolie's Halo, setting a track record to boot. But by the time summer rolled around, I wasn't that excited to see Farma Way vs Festin again.

I just did some reading to remind myself how the series ended: Farma Way and Festin decided it in the Woodward, Farma Way coming away with 1st place money by finishing ahead of Festin; BUT, In Excess won the Woodward.

In the Breeder's Cup, Black Tie Affair beat all of them, and nailed HOY, too. Maybe that sapped some of the luster from the "Championship Series".
