The GC goes straight through to the BC. I think there are more options now, but between the Metro for 2yo's, the Jug for 3yo's-----although it's lost a lot of it's prestige, from both the sport side and with the breeders, and then Lexington; there's a lot for the real fans. As far as marque events, maybe in the eye of the beholder-----Metro, Jug, Kentucky Futurity, the Tattersalls Pace maybe, some might say the Bluegrass, and the International Stallion Stakes. But, as they say, it all comes down to the Breeders Crown.
