What about a Breeders Cup 1st time starters race?
Breeders Cup starter handicap? All Grey Breeders Cup Race? Breeders Cup optional claimer?

OK, I was fully in support of the move to 11 races but this is not a good idea at all. Add the Turf Sprint to make it an even 12 and stop right there. If they want to add four G3s for $150,000 so there are 8 races on each day I can deal with that. A 3yo filly race that is G3 will still draw some OK runners without depleting the Distaff. Please, for the sake of the sport, do not go to 16 BC races.

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.

A juvy race at 6f would probably destroy the existing 8.5 furlong juvy.
In this day and age, most trainers probably don't like pushing their top-level talent beyond a mile at age 2 but many do it in order to try to win a BC race and BC money. If there is a 6f alternative.....who would push to win the 8.5f race? We will end up with six allowance-caliber horses competing in the BC juvenile. I didn't mind the expansion to 11 (although I don't think they should have added another juvy race) but 16 would be absolutely insane.
