Dude... I bet New York Graded stakes alot. A graded stake with 8 or more is a full field in my book

Next they'll add a Breeder's Cup Steeplechase event....

That would actually be a more useful addition than this one.

They ought to call the new race the BC Futurity and run trials for it in late September and early October at Belmont, Calder, and Oak Tree.

Neat idea...

There already is a Breeders' Cup Steeplechase event, and it's run at Far Hills, NJ. But it is considered a BC event.

Mc Dynamo said to tell you he forgives you...

It was a joke ! Although I'd much prefer a 2 3/4 miler on the ITC at Belmont !

Oh okay well I applaud your very dry delivery! :tro:

With this announcement, I hope soon all 4 Juv. routes are lenghten to 1 1/8 Miles.

BTW - Over/Under on fillies in the race is 5.

My wit has never sparkled.

So there.

How about a race restricted to non BC nominated horses, surface and distance to be determined after post draw?

an artificially muddied course is predicted in the future...The Breeders Cup slop event will be held on the newly expanded 3rd day....

in all seriousness the bc is turning into a joke...the product is being diluted

Poly doesn't get muddy................:rolleyes:

watered down

Unless you're Santa Anita.

The number of quality 2-year olds that are worthy of the Breeders Cup is already too low. Why add another race?

Soon, we'll see well-thought of maidens enter these 2-year old BC races, just like they'll occasionally do in 2-yo stakes races at Hollywood, Churchill, Calder and Belmont in the summer.

I like it better than the dirt marathon race, which is basically a race for those long winded plodders not fast enough to be competitive in graded stakes.

race is BORING...horses are so slow they have to cut to a commercial mid race

You might even get first time starters? Why not?
