Why isn't the Keeneland Beaumont a KY Oaks points race?
They have two 7F races that are, the Santa Ynez (SA) and the Forward Gal (GP).
They have three one turn mile races that are as well, the Pocahantas (CD), Busher (AQ) and Davona Dale (GP).
The GrII Beaumont is run at the Beard Course distance of 7F 184 feet, the furthest Keeneland can run a one turn race. Why wouldn't it be a points race?
Could be a last chance type race for horses that got a late start on their 3 yr. old season and have points toward the Oaks, but aren't ready for a two turn Grade I at this point in their schedule.
