Do you have (if not ten) a top 5?

Too general.

Categories should be:

Open races:

Dirt Sprint: BC Sprint

Dirt Mile: Met Mile

Dirt Route: Breeders Cup Classic

Synthetic: Dubai World Cup

Synthetic sprint: Bing Crosby or Triple Bend

Turf Sprint: Obviously an International race.

Turf Mile Race: Obviously an International race...and it sure isn't the BC Mile. The connections of Frankel never even considered it. Wise Dan was only there because he's gelded. With anything resembling a stallion pedigree he would have passed on the BC Mile and went in the Classic if he was ungelded.

Turf Route: Arc or King George and QE Diamond

Turf marathon: Obviously an International race like the Ascot Gold Cup or something.


3-year-old races:

Dirt Route: Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont, Haskell, Travers

Dirt sprint: King's Bishop

Turf sprint: International race

Turf Mile: International race

Turf Route: International race


2-year-old race:

Dirt: Breeders Cup Juvenile

Turf: Some International race
