That would be extremely dangerous and short sighted on their part. 5 years ago they would have partnered with Magna in a heartbeat and last year a slew of people would have loved to sign on with Halsey Minor. Both would have been huge errors according to the current situation. One of the things that made the BC unique was the different venues.

BC is a bad idea already but it is here too stay. I like BC day, but I like Tuesdays in Feb at Aqueduct. The point of having it at CD every year is to build the day, make it a destination event. With it all over the place it is harder to market. Plus the configurations of different track make things even more dodgy. CD does a great job with the Derby and the weather in KY can be suitable. I really dont care if it is a rotation or at CD, or even dropped for that matter, but it would be a lot easier to market if it was in one place.
