Your post suggests that the irreparable splits likely to be caused by such a decision, aside from harming the viability of the Breeders’ Cup as we currently know it, would have the (likely albeit unintended) consequence of harming inter-jurisdictional cooperation on a whole host of important issues facing the industry. If nothing else, the need to promote the "greater good" should give the Breeders' Cup officials considering the self-serving permanent placement of the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita reason to reconsider that ill-advised concept.

I don't think you could be more right or have put it better. Not sure if BCL is totally re-thinking the move after the April 22 meeting, but delaying the announcement which was widely expected a week ago Thursday, seems to indicate there may be some authentic second thoughts at the least.
