Ruff, you probably remember the Jockey Club Gold Cup as a Belmont race, very often the feature race on one of the Belmont cards that served as final preps leading up to the BC races. I think that this is the first year that the JCGC has run at Saratoga, serving as the feature to the closing weekend card.
The JCGC has had some illustrious winners including Pleasant Tap, Cigar, Mineshaft, Bernardini and Curlin [twice]. But the highest Equibase speed rating that has been awarded for the JCGC since they started doing so in 1992 was for Skip Away's second win in 1997, an astronomical 135.
