The breeders cup is never going to be at Saratoga.

Why did you give that away? I thought it would be fun to see how long it would take Ernie to figure that out.

the del mar turf course can only hold 10 starters. i heard at one time they might widen it to accomodate 14 but until that happens they can't host a bc.

i thought he would argue with me....

Parx 2014!!

if tracks want to host bc then it would require alot of work. wish gulfstream would host it again but idk if it'll ever happen again since stronach changed that place big time

I'm thinking my home track... Indiana downs... average temperature in nov. is about 50. We don't have a grandstand... but we do have several very nice benches and a playground for the kids. The apron can hold at least 1k people. The track is similar in composition to asphalt, but that makes for fast times. Plus, if the breeders cup comes... all the horses that normally run in nov. can go back to their day jobs of plowing fields for the next year.

It's a win win for all

Now that's a solid argument for the BC to consider!
