I would like to see something like that for the male turf division. It can start with the GP Turf Handicap, followed by the Kilroe, Muniz, Maker's Mark, Early Times, Dixie, Manhattan, Eddie Read, Arlington Million, and conclude with the Shadwell Turf Mile. The Early Times, Dixie, and Manhattan were actually part of a bonus series around 18 years ago.

I'm still waiting for the Triple Crown Challenge to return.

Good idea. I'd like to see Eclipse awards determined by the fans. Like baseball .

Huh? End of the year awards in baseball aren't determined by fans.

You didn't get a vote?

This year, horse of the year was voted on by the fans. Those couldn't have been knowledgeable racing people that voted that.
As for the series, I liked it when they had it and think it would be a good thing to have again. More than that though, I'd like a national stakes schedule. Whether or not the races are tied together is secondary.
