Put me in the minority but I actually like this addition. Unlike the Juvy Turf events, this actually has a place in American racing. What do the vast majority of 2yo's in this country do? They sprint on dirt.

It really is a Jersey thing, cause I thought I saw turf somewhere too.

My bad. Much better. Still want 1 day but I am ok with a 2 yr old sprint on dirt. I will give my all important blessing.

This doesnt come close to their worst decision. I like the idea, but let's hope tht this isnt the beginning of some other bright new ideas. Count me as a fan of the one-day event.

I agree totally. I also have a feeling that this is going to be a more popular race for trainers. I've long wished that there was no 2yo racing beyond 6f anyway and I think that having them race shorter instead of pushing them to run further than they are ready for that early in their careers will be better in the long run. At least I hope so because I'm tired of seeing half the crop broken down by the summer every year.
