Let this be a teachable moment.

The weather, as DrugS pointed out, at the 1988 BC at Churchill was absolutely brutal ( I was there ), yet it is regarded as one of the best BCs ever. The weather earlier this week, and last weekend, in KY was horrendous. Belmont cancelled the Saturday before the BC in 1995 ( NY Bred Showcase day ) when a Northeaster blew through.

So, I guess you stand in the group that wants it at Santa Anita every year. Duly noted.
