Would the mini BC really be much different than Jockey Club Gold Cup Day? If anything it would be the poor man's version of it since they'd lose the horses that went on to the BC.

the bc also gives extra purse money to certain races held at various tracks. i could see that changing if a track decided to compete. but i don't see it happening anyway.
