NYRA should bill its 9/27 date as the "real dirt" championships with the JCGC (Classic), Beldame (Distaff.. oops, I mean Ladies Classic ) , and Vosburgh (Sprint) as the real championship races. Heck, with the Flower Bowl (F & M Turf) and Joe Hirsch (Turf Classic), it's basically the same thing (without the turf mile and Juvy races) as the 'old' BC Day.
Either way, it's the best remaining day on the calender for dirt racing in '08.

At least they didn't decide to stay in California for a 3rd straight year.

Move the Champagne and the Frizette from the following week to cover the Juvy races and contemplate moving the NYRA mile from Aqueduct's Holiday fest and you've got all of the bases covered.
