Keeneland is too small

If not for the rain, i thought Monmouth was an OK site. Lone Star did a decent job when it was there.

Belmont, obviously has lots of room and albeit the weather can be cold in November its not unbearable. Churchill fits

Agree that Santa Anita should be out, but it is a nice facility there

Not a whole lot of options when you think about it

Churchill, Belmont, Arlington, Gulfstream and Santa Anita

Locked Rotation so each course hosts every 5 years.

I don't know if Gulfstream has enough room for scads of temporary seating they would have to bring in.

I would like to see Monmouth get another chance. I really liked it there (other than the monsoon).

Keeneland is looking into additional seating for hosting a BC in the future. But I don't see it in the near future.

Churchill is ideal, and of course I am biased since I live in Kentucky. Being 2 1/2 hours from the BC each year would be really, really nice. But I do like to get out and see other tracks.

at least having a BC at Woodbine will help determine the Sovereign Awards..

Agree with Monmouth. Still the most formful BC day despite the weather.

Gulfstream is no longer a racetrack
