They don't need a longer race at all. If you want to run those, send them off to Europe because the current landscape of American thoroughbred racing means a race of that length has no importance. The industry is driven by breeding and there is no demand for a marathon winner. I've been saying for years that the Belmont is the most irrelevant G1 we have unless someone is going for the Triple Crown. In year's with no TC bid, I can do without.
