Can't they just call it the Fillies and Mares Classic?

"Ladies Classic" I don't know if I should laugh or puke...

They should have BC Divisions based on horse color next...

Well, if they had a race with all grays...5,000 people would die of heart attacks on the spot from over stimulation, so nix that idea!! It would be way, way too much for many people to handle.

They have the Grey Jug(all greys) at Monticello the weekend of the Little Brown Jug, harness racing for anyone who doesnt know, and I dont think there have been any confirmed deaths yet! So I think the BC should go for it!! Its already ruined.

there are races for greys
maybe it was Calder

[AeWingnut]

they are turning horse racing into baseball's world series. Where more is less.

I'm sure there are arguments against this but...
I miss when the BC was held at the 2nd tier tracks. Woodbine, Lone Star...
Not everyone is into huge crowds.

I just had a thought.. they could have the BC at 2 or 3 different tracks on the same day

It is logistically impossible for riders and connections.

Not impossible, would just force some very tough decisions and a lot of rider changes. Bad idea but certainly possible.

Yeah they run the greys at Calder on Freakshow Day or whatever they call it. They have the aforementioned 2 races at once, a race for 5yoandup (The Methusalah, i'm not kidding), a wrongway race, a 2 furlong race.

Man we could have FOUR days of racing with male and female versions of all of those!!!!!!!

You left out the most important "race within a race" where they paid based on the leader at the 1/2 mile pole.

I have cashed every time they have offered that race.

Knew I was forgetting one. As I recall they had terrible rain this year. Had to reschedule and then the weather was pretty rotten the second day, too. If I recall the same horse one both "halves" of that race within a race.

There's one at the Meadowlands every year on Halloween as well.
