Not sure they can run 5f on the turf at SA.

I always thought of that. I certainly don't like the down the hill course for Breeders Cup as it gives a huge advantage to the home team.

Serious question for you or anybody else that knows more about track configuration, what would be the closest distance to 5f they could run on the turf there? It's not like the turf course is some grassy bullring.

If the NFL were run like the Breeders Cup they would have the teams kickers run a 40 yard match race at halftime and award 2 points to the winning team.

I'm still waiting for the vote to be announced for champion US marathon horse
