I'm not sure i'm in favour of a BC Turf Sprint but it would attract European sprinters-because even with the weakness of the $-a purse of $1 Million which gives the winner earnings of about £270,000 is much more than they could win here.

Also if this race was created-obviously a fair number of Graded Stakes would be added to the calendar in North America and i can see the number of European sprinters being sold into American ownership or campaigned in the US going through the roof.
