Yep, still at the long end of middle distance for most of the world. It has brought back some longer distance stakes races so I would hate to see it go. Would much rather see one juvie turf race (and one on the dirt as well, though that won't happen) and one sprint for older. I'm torn on the juvie sprint as it is a positive keeping young horses that should be sprinting running sprints. Takes the Derby fever down a degree or two.
