The Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes are the biggest horse races in the States, but I don't know if they're collectively called something like "the Spring carnival".
10 - Resignation?
Green & Breeders cup correct

I'd be demanding a Steward's Inquiry into that one. I was brought up (by some relatives involved in the horse racing industry) to believe the Kentucky Derby was the number one US race, while a few others in that season, including the Belmont Stakes, made up America's main racing carnival.
EDIT: Googling indicates a photo finish - according to Wikipedia: The traditional high point of US horse racing is the Kentucky Derby. Together, the Derby, the Preakness Stakes run at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, and the Belmont Stakes held at Belmont Park on Long Island, form the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing for three-year-olds. They are all held early in the year, throughout May and the beginning of June. In recent years the Breeders' Cup races, run at the end of the year, have challenged the Triple Crown events as determiners of the three-year-old Champion.
