Complain but do it for the right reasons. The BC was initiated to get what you want, THE BEST.

It gives us the best for one day. I dont want just one race a year with the best for that division. Give me 3-5 races a year with 3 of the top horses in that division anyday of the week. Give me 5 races a year with a field like we had in the Whitney all year long. I dont think horses would bypass each other if we didnt have the Breeders Cup. Older horses would point to the Donn, Stephen Foster, Whitney, Jockey Club Gold Cup, Pacific Classic etc etc. The owners would be forced to race their horses in order to get the Grade I win and to get the money. The BCC has duluted the competition in the early Grade I races for older horses in the spring and early summer.
