I'm not saying put it in the rotation but at least once, they can do it. There is no other track that deserves hosting more than Saratoga.

My belief is that it is NYRA who would be at the top of the list of those who don't want Breeders' Cup to come to Saratoga.
What became more apparent in the past year was the affection that the local community in the Capital Region has for NYRA. That would be eroded if Breeders' Cup comes to town. Breeders' Cup takes over the show completely. $50 General Admission. Probably either not allowed to bring anything in or vastly limited. Concession prices ramped up 50-100%. The local community will feel completely frozen out and will blame NYRA.
