It's a terrible idea to make a permanent site so that is just what they will do.

as i've said before, a permanent site is a bad idea.
however, if they choose to pick one, it absolutely should be CD. they have better handle and attendance then any other track that's hosted it.

Friday was definitely the "less crowded" day, but it was still fun.
I'm a fan of the two day event. More play, better for the local economy etc.

That's an awful idea!
Believe it or not not everyone wants to go running to Churchill. I live in LA, best one I've been to was Belmont. They need to be fair to us, the east coast, people closer to Gulfstream, Woodbine, Lone Star... No way should it be at 1 place no matter which place their talking about, period.

I would like to see it at Fair Grounds. A good bit of temporary seating would have to be brought in, but the weather would be perfect and New Orleans excels at hosting major sporting events.

Ravioli could come up with a marketing plan to start the races at 6 AM EST, and maybe have the BCC at halftime of some big game.

I wouldn't mind having it at a synthetic racetrack again.
You can eliminate practically half the field in each race in a synthetic BC. From a handicapping standpoint, it's wonderful.

edit-i see others beat me to that punch. absolutely, i think the bc should travel. it's been billed as being for all breeders, not just those in ky.

Having been there live each of the last two runnings, there is no question in my mind that Santa Anita should be the permanent site. Not only is the weather much better but the venue had had more of a big event feel.
The racing is the draw regardless of location but Santa Anita takes most of the weather variables out of the mix and is much easier to get to (even for those of us on the east coast) logistically. Paul

Cup at Saratoga?
With the construction to begin next fall after the Saratoga meet for a new state of the art clubhouse wrapping around the 1st turn I give 10 years before the Cup comes to Saratoga. You have to believe....

I hate the idea of a permanent site for a BC, and think it's terribly unfair for CD to get to host racing's 2 biggest days...I like a traveling BC site. And think that no one should have it 2 years in a row....Dirt and Poly should both be part of the equation.
