I read this on another board so I can't take credit for it but it does make sense:
"There is also the aspect that by giving the public Discreet Cat vs Bernardini in the BC Classic they are validating that as the biggest dirt race in the world. If instead Bernardini wins the Classic and meets an undefeated Discreet Cat in the World Cup you could call that the biggest dirt race in the World and to make matters even better for them it would be Coolmore free."
