Do filly graded stakes races count toward the Breeder's Cup Classic Points? As far as I can tell, points earned on dirt count towards the dirt championship races and points earned on turf count towards the turf championship races, with no mention of whether is matters if a race was restricted to fillies or open.
With that in mind, I would have to say that Rags to Riches has a very good shot of getting into the Classic, if her intentions want to go that route. Of course this assumes that races such as the CC Am Oaks and Alabama will count. Curlin probably has the second best shot of getting in as Assmussen, Stonestreet, Padua, etc. seem to not mind running him often.
