I think race nights are all flat racing (if I'm not mistaken) so maybe things like

XX 2000 Guineas
XX 1000 Guineas
XX St Ledger
XX Champion Stakes
XX Handicap
XX Sussex Stakes
XX Coronation Cup
XX Arlington Million
XX Melbourne Cup

There are hundreds of things really. Don't use hurdle if its a flat race.
