There have certainly been some exciting races in the history of the Breeders' Cup. I never said there weren't.
However, simply pointing to that fact and saying that it serves as sufficient evidence that the Breeders' Cup is good for racing is one of the most poorly constructed arguments I could possibly imagine. In fact, it is such an absurdly illogical argument that it seriously makes me miss King Glorious. At least he put some genuine effort into making arguments with which I strenuously disagreed.

In the end though, this argument is pointless. As far as I am concerned, it is an absolute fact that the Breeders' Cup has been bad for the sport. But who cares? There is no realistic chance that the Breeders' Cup is going to disappear any time in the forseeable future no matter how much I might wish for it. Instead it is actually spreading like a virus. Debating it is like talking about whether or not the NBA should eliminate the 3-point line. It isn't ever going to happen, so what is really the point?
