Now if they could just come up with a 12-furlong turf stakes race for 3YO's, preferably a revival of the Lawrence Realization.

I think this is wonderful news. Bring more stamina back to the breed!

Seeing this made me a little sad about last year's loss of Innovation Economy though.

This is great, I love the staying races. Hopefully there will be more allowances carded to prepare for these also.
