Agreed. After Conduit, that was the weakest BCT field I've ever seen. Hopefully next year brings the return of the Turf being representative of its purse and card location.

Also, why the heck was the synthetic mile allowed to be called the dirt mile? That's like playing MNF games on Wednesdays and still calling it Monday Night Football.

agreed give it a year on dirt and see how it compare to s/a this year. to see if the two day event will work.

From an Owners standpoint I absolutely love the to day event. For a lot of small owners this game is built on Dreams. And the more chances to run for the Big money on one of the biggest stages of the year the better.
