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.

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.

It's unfair to the other capapble racetrack operators and fans in other parts of the country who may not be able to afford to travel. I actually was a bit bored with the Euro performances on dirt (as usual)!!! Poly make it a more level playing field for them, but less for the east coasters.

If they're going to have a permanent site, I think Santa Anita would be the best place, now that they are going back to regular dirt. I think the risk of rain is too great when they run back east. It's a shame when important races are run in the slop. We were very fortunate this year that there was no rain in Louisville.

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.

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....
