I was thinking about this as well, but the market hasn't made the adjustment to paying for superior synthetic sires and we really don't have enough data to know who will be a good synth sire long term. I think the biggest drawback to the theory now is that the classics and majority of G1 races are still on the dirt or turf. This is changing, but having the BC move around won't be enough to demand quality breeding for that surface...JMO
