I was less excited by this BC than any other. I think the addition of the Friday races was one negative factor. As kasept predicted, it diluted the excitement.

The track conditions were not a big negative for me. Most of the better horses performed well regardless. But there just wasn't much excitement about the entries. For instance, the Distaff is usually a compelling race for me, but this year it seemed blah. Definitely no Winning Colors vs Personal Ensign. Same with most of the other events besides the Classic.
