I think that given time the three additional races would have been a big positive. Two year old turf racing would have drastically improved and we would have seen a lot of stakes winning 3yos that couldn't get ten furlongs actually stick around for the Dirt Mile at the end of the year instead of being retired mid-season. Plus we need a BC race for Sir Greeley and Wanderin Boy.
Unforunately if the five additional races are added it will just be a giant cluster**** and those races won't have a chance to be established as legit BC races. They'll forever be associated with the downfall of the Breeders Cup.
