If you did add a day, the logical races to add are a dirt mile and turf sprint, and possibly a juvenile (turf) mile which would attract lots of Euros.

I find BC day far too intense with the races coming way too fast to adjust to the opportunities.. If you go back a few years the races were spaced better with maybe an additional 7-9 min. between each.. TV of course found that too long a delay, so now they come at you like Jai Alai games..
