I, too, like the idea of moving around to new tracks. But, other than Gulfstream (which is no longer an option), what other site can give you all of the above?
That said, for those upset now, I would bet that it moves the following year but stays in California and is held at Del Mar.

It has also become one of the most expensive locations to attend as well - though it sounds as if that is their goal with the whole "lifestyle platform" thing.
They always cite the weather, yet as pointed out, Churchill always brings the better numbers attendance and handle wise. While it was cold the last time Belmont hosted the BC, it is the last thing that sticks out in my mind since it was a tremendous experience all around.
