Also trainers would not use a Grade I as a prep for another Grade I - that is silly. Not having the BCC would force trainers to race their horses more often and against better fields.
The BC has the best fields and brings all of the active top ones. So that is what you are looking for and compain because its there. A lot of the to horses will still bypass some of the gr1s due to fittnes timing or location. Most all of the top ones pont to the race called the BC thus getting what you want. Complain but do it for the right reasons. The BC was initiated to get what you want, THE BEST.
