FILLY & MARE SPRINT

...horses like Xtra Heat, Honest Lady, Hallowed Dreams, Duai Escapade, Madcap Escapade, etc. should have the opportunity to be BC champs IMO....

Good call Joel. I was going to say just a flat dirt mile but you could def make a case for a filly and mare sprint.

I'd like to see a mile on the dirt.

A mile dirt race would kill the Classic, not a good idea in my opinion.

You think so? There are some really nice dirt milers that just can't get the classic distance. It'd be good for them, I think.

I think a one-turn mile would be a decent addition, but for BC tracks that host the event that don't have a one-turn mile - the west coast tracks - then yes, it would hurt the Classic. On the other hand, while a one-turn mile race would be intriguing, it would likely hurt the Sprint more.....

I couldn't see them ever adding this....

Yeah, makes sense...

I didn't think about it hurting the sprint, but you're probably right.

There is already an option for these horses...the Cigar Mile. A dirt mile would kill the Cigar Mile. The BC has already screwed up the importance of most of the old traditional races. A BC dirt mile would leave Aqueduct with only one G 1, the Wood, for their entire 6 month season.

The BC is the BC... let me guess, you'd rather not have it at all, right?
