The number of quality 2-year olds that are worthy of the Breeders Cup is already too low. Why add another race?

Soon, we'll see well-thought of maidens enter these 2-year old BC races, just like they'll occasionally do in 2-yo stakes races at Hollywood, Churchill, Calder and Belmont in the summer.

I like it better than the dirt marathon race, which is basically a race for those long winded plodders not fast enough to be competitive in graded stakes.

You might even get first time starters? Why not?

How many races had Giacomo and Mine that Bird won prior to the Derby? Unaccomplished horses win our classic races on a regular basis so a maiden winning this wouldn't be so horrible.

You'd probably add that horse to your signature.

Or even change my user name to that horse's name. You never know.
