Brilliant.
That are in form at any one time? I'd say there are less.
You wanna let us in on who these 14 qualified male routers (some of whom can't run in the Classic because they actually can't route according to you) are exactly?
Again, you are ignoring the whole argument. A horrible race that sports a big purse draws away two or three in-form, top class routers and sprinters away from the main championship races. Of course, in order to have a full field, it has to be populated by decidedly non top class horses, and hence no longer serves as championship event.
This is made up. The Classic alone generally draws 1-2 Eclipse champions. The Dirt Mile? None.
More filth. Goldencents and Caleb's Posse did not in fact win a championship. So no, the Dirt Mile has produced no champions in 8 runnings.

We can go back and forth. It's become tiresome. The bottom line for you is that "This is a championship event and should be treated as such."
The bottom line is that connections will run where their horses fit best. If it's not the BCM for LM then maybe it's the Cigar Mile. Or wait for the Donn. Obviously they want no part of the BCC (if what has been stated is fact) so to remove the BCM to "force" them to run where most people may want to see him run wouldn't go over to well. Personally I don't give a rat's behind if you feel the quality of the BCM is subpar. It's an exciting race to watch and wager.
