Maybe trophies for the Toronto Mile and the Al Star Turf Mile? 😇

Toronto Mile 1m
All Star Turf Mile 1m

The majority of the million dollar+ TM races already have trophies:
Pegasus Turf Mile 1.5m
Dubai Millennium Mile 1m
Stewards Cup Juvenile Turf 1m
Stewards Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf 1m
Stewards Cup Turf Mile 2.5m
Stewards Cup Filly and Mare Turf Mile 1.5m

Even some races under the top purse G1s have trophies
Saudi Turf Mile 800k
Los Campeones Juvenile 400k
Los Camleones Fillies 400k

I know they are part of larger multi-race events, but still!

I might be missing some trophy races, but the whole TM division has only has 8 G1s with a purse of a million dollars or more, and 2 don’t have trophies. They probably should. Who doesn’t like more trophies!

It would have been amazing if every G1 race with a purse higher than 300k, comes with some kind of trophy, or ribbon or something :)
(in all divisions).
But yeah, that would ad up to A LOT of trophies, so maybe not doable ^^'' But it would have been cool.

Thanks Sara, noted this request too. The trophy graphics are cool and so hopefully the more the merrier will apply.

Ooooh while we're adding trophies it would be great if mixers could get some love. I don't think a single paint race outside the steward's cup has a trophy at the moment.

How about Turf Barrier Trials in Europe. Would save having to send a horse from Europe to Kentucky and back for just a Barrier Trial.

Yeah … TB mares to QH studs if the mare is Foundation reg with the AQHA she can be bred to QH
This would be interesting

For real … many a fast TB mare that raced in QH races in the early days bred some fast horses… I’m not sure if this is done modern day but it used to be in QH racing.

AND I would still love to see a hypo result column I can have in my custom foal and yearlings barn

On the subject of barrier trials, can we possibly have something like that for steeplechasers?

Could we have a way to check versatility of retired horses? I’ve got a RL stud I’d like to check but he was never not retired, so now ask the trainer checks aren’t available.
