They are being nice and showing respect for the race, unlike the owner of Rachel Alexandra. They have no intention of coming, just like Rachel had no intention of running in it. The difference is his owners have class and don't want to belittle the Classic and the eventual winner. Rachel's owner showed no class by constantly trying to belittle the race as if he not running in the BC somehow made it no importance. I guess that was part political for the HOY voting but it also was classless. The winner of the Classic or Ladies Classic will have to be a very good horse this year.

Do you have any quotes or anything indicating that he's belittled the race, or are you just randomly typing until a sentence finishes if it gives you a chance to call him "classless?" He has a problem with the surface. Agree with him or not, I am highly dubious of the fact that he's ever belittled the Breeders' Cup Classic as an event. Maybe I'm wrong.

Why does everyone assume that if Sea the Stars comes to the BC he will run in the classic? Why wouldnt he run in the Turf? Why would he run in the Classic?

Purse money means nothing to this owner. This horse is worth between 50 and 100 million US dollars. The purse money from the Classic works out to about 2 million to the owner after taxes and trainer and jockey. Travel is another 100K. This horse can earn 2 million in a single week in the breeding shed.
He is not a great horse with a decent pedigree. He is not a filly. He is the best horse in decades with a perfect pedigree. He is arguably the greatest stallion prospect ever. He is such a good prospect that the downturn in the market will do little to hurt his value. There is no chance he ever races again. The BC will likely flatter him more when all his victims dominate eveything.
