A format similar to the Harness racing Grand Circuit, which travels from track to track, presenting major races. Unfortunately, the Grand Circuit hasn't survived the 'big race bulldozers' like the Meadowlands very well, only a few of the 'lesser' tracks retaining their week or so of superior racing.

A circuit for older horses was tried a few years back, with points being awarded for finishing in the money in a series of top handicap races. Back around the time of Criminal Type and Festin, I believe. Forget why it folded. (Old people forget things.)
