Sprinters whose trainers didn't want to go to the BC anyway. Fabulous Strike already wasn't going right? That's why they moved it, there was demand for taking a stab at a dirt sprint quasi-championship it looks like and the trainers probably figured if they were going to point for it, much easier to just bring it forward than work around the vacuum of the BC. I'm looking forward to seeing Vineyard Haven without the DQ drama.

Its the anti BC Sprint. Funny thing is, its getting better horses! That will teach those dummies not to have the BC on the junk.

And 2 years in a row. Breeders Cup has been tarnished and doesnt have the prestige as it once was. The 2 day event screwed it up and now we get watered down fields and the best horses dont even run in it.

The move to October takes perfect advantage to the PolyCup. That's a true G1 sprint.

Would this be considered a run on sentence?
