Racing nationally has been on a decline for several years now. You could probably pick apart every individual Grade 1 race over the years and find a few duds.
That said, the 2014 Cigar Mile was not one of them; Private Zone, Secret Circle, Itsmyluckyday, Regally Ready, Vyjack.
Seemingly by your standards the last good race was the 1957 Trenton Handicap at Garden State.
