It should be at different tracks. I am not complaining when it is in NY, KY, Cali, etc...

Reason I think it should be at different tracks is so you don't have "Belmont-lovers" or "churchill-lovers" type horses that win.

Euros can get a body clip!
I agree Buffy...the purpose of creating the BC was to promote racing...you don't do that by restricting access! I haven't given up hope that someday...Penn National! When they bid out stuff like the olympics, all kinds of cities compete, they spend millions of dollars to build, construct, renovate facilities that are then subsequently put to good use long after the games are past...same with the BC! That should be the model, not some exclusive "good old boys club" consisting of the elite tracks! I have no problem with holding it in Europe or even...sigh, I hate saying it...Dubai but lets spread the wealth here first! A little creativity and a little less "we can't do that because..." would save this sport!
