Aged Racing
Quote from Bgtolex25 on July 5, 2026, 6:45 PMThe two Grade 2s and three Grade 3s last night at the Big M were quietly under the radar. Here on this forum we were understandably focused on the Next Generation, but even the Meadowlands Pace Elim was the headliner for much of the industry.
But the best action was with the older horses. The 4 year old Graduate Finals showcased some great talent. We need to get to the point where the shift is more meaningful. Away from the 2 year olds, which is like watching High School sports. Too many 2 year olds are compromised for the short term return. 4 and above are where the Pros reside with full, competitive fields. Bulldog Hanover, Twin B Joe Fresh vs. Mini And Miki, Always B Miki vs. Wiggle It Jiggle It, the incredible story of On To Norway…fill in several dozen of your favorites.
If that isn’t enough, go to your favorite raceway on any given weekend. It is the aged races providing the best entertainment and wagering opportunities.
Any yearling bringing over 100k is overpriced and nonsense. It is just insanely rich people swapping cash.

Balmoral also closed, but I only went there twice.
