Given the way horses, and 2YOs included, are campaigned nowadays, the Matron/Futurity were cannibalizing the Champagne and Frizette. Now, with the BC on dirt, the Champagne and Frizette should have more prominent fields. The last time the BC was held on dirt the BC Juv Fillies and Juvenile winners made their final preps in the Champagne and Frizette.

The Jerome was axed (which might cause Godolphin to disband) because the Kelso was switched to dirt. The Stuyvesant was a race that was out of place because by that time of year if you have a good 3YO he should either be in the BC, Cigar Mile or Clark.
