I can't help but wonder if the BC has something to do with Santa Anita's recent announcement of considering a return to a dirt surface. The prospect of a new surface being tested just weeks before this year's big event has to be very scary to them. I know it's horrifying to a lot of others.
Frankly, the BC should do the right thing and announce they've made a deal to run it this year at Belmont. To risk running on a completely new and unproven surface is a major disservice to horse racing whether you are pro-synthetics or not.
