I agree with what Hossy said above and because of this I think the Breeder's Cup Comittee would be better served focusing on the issues that are brought before them (not enough windows etc) than diluting the product and getting horses there that shouldn't be. Quality over quantity IMO.
If they really wanted to bring more Breeder's Cup to the second day, why not transfer the Steeplechase event to that day?
