11 race BC not stupid enough..

[Antitrust32]

As a fan, adding more BC races will take away from the big day. As a handicapper, adding more races will just add more opportunities to make or lose money. And for the Breeder's/Owner's - $30 million in purses would be awesome. Its not a completely bad decision IMO.

Well that would hardly be fair to the jockeys that specialize on dirt or going a route of ground. We will need at least 6 different jockey races to be fair.

What about the 16 furlong dirt race for geldings aged 8 and above??

I'd honestly prefer they add something like that. If they are going to cheapen the BC races at least do them in ways that won't deplete the existing 11 races. I think a turf sprint is fine but can't see any other races they can add without depleting others. Make those 12 BC races, add four G3s for $250,000 and you'll have a very nice two day card. 16 BC races would be awful.

I think even the races they added this year are too many. I like the full strong fields on the 8 race cards and even those aren't always full as someone earlier said...the turf this year.
