The thing though is that Woodbine subsidizes all travel expenses for horses shipping in and that's part of the reason why the Canadian International is usually very strong. Now, even with it three weeks ahead of the BC, you have to convince those European horsemen to take their charges another 2,000 miles to turf courses they generally do not favor (I know there have been exceptions) in much warmer temperatures on their own dime.
I don't know about all of you but two years of 8 horse fields in the BC Turf along with watered down Classics, Sprints, and Juvenile races does not have me excited.
