Well...that's true. 12f races are my absolute favorite races to handicap and bet.
But regardless of what grade they receive, having races called "Breeders' Cup Races" filled with allowance horses bothers me.

As long as they aren't G1 I think there is a distinction and I don't care what they want to call them. I mean there are terrible races throughout the year with Breeders Cup in their name already.
