Not as nonsensical as having the "World Championship" dirt races held at a venue without a dirt course.

For several years after its formation, the Breeders' Cup was a positive influence on the game. However, in recent years, as trainers start their horses less and less, the Breeders' Cup has directly cannibalized the traditional fall races in this country. Adding more Breeders' Cup races only exacerbates this trend. And now, by splitting the true "championship" races (Distaff, Juvenile Fillies, Filly and Mare Turf), from the Saturday card, the Breeders' Cup is cannibalizing itself.

They are adding more new races. Of course in October at SA they don't have to worry about rain. It's fire season in Oct. They comes the monsoon, and then the locusts.
