A BEL-CD-'Guest Track' rotation is probably the way to go...

I know, but he is saying this stuff to start issues, like his poly thread earlier.
As far as my opinion on only Belmont and CD, I couldn't disagree with it more. The point of the BC is to give the fans racing at the highest level on one day. While shouldn't people in Texas (Lone Star) or Illinois (Arlington) get the unique opportunity to see this live, in their backyard. Think about this, 2004 was the ONLY TIME I could see a horse like Storm Flag Flying live, or Azeri, or Rock of Gibrator, without having to travel or pay an arm and a leg. The other minor part of the BC is to get attention on the sport and gain new fans, having it at only two places wouldn't do that
