It is a debate that I understand. My reasoning has always been that precedent ha been set. Many single race Europeans have won titles. I always go back to Singspiel, who won the title and never won a race in this country. My position has always been if they want to change the rules to say a horse needs to have a minimum of starts here like 3-4 or maybe the majority of your starts have to be here, I’m ok with that. But until that happens, I think they should stick with awarding the best of those that’s most qualified. Having said that, I would have had no problem at all with Gun Runner being champion this year or Ghostzapper being champion in 2005. If one race is good enough to win a title, as has been done many times, who says that one race has to be in the Breeders’ Cup?
