I love the BC. Even if some of the graded stakes races seem diluted, they also bring other horses into contention. Very few if any BC horses dont deserve to be there. Even without the BC, some of the graded stakes races will be void of some of the outstanding prospects due to injury,timing,location or just flat out avoiding some of the compition. The same reason you have a dislike for the BC is the same reason you should embrace it. It brings the best together . Some take different or varrying routes to get there,thus spreading the talent accross the country.
