So what happens when they run on the west coast, they going to start in California at 4pm, thus 6pm in New York.

This is stupid. If they want all these races, then run it on Saturday and SUNDAY, problem is that they won't run the big races on Sunday, so they have to choose Friday as the designated day and hope people use their vacation time.....

I am all for BC races, I like the day and the value it presents, but soon, they are going to have a NW3 BC Claimer Championship on BC Day

whatever the **** the time difference is, they are better off with a bunch of 7th graders in their first business class making these decisions

You can't volunteer yourself twice.

They should take a hint from Calder and run two races at the same time, one turf and one dirt and then have them all race on the same day....hope they don't see this as they may do it.

It makes you shutter to think what BC will be in 10 years.

How about just next year? This move is clearly situating them to take the next step and have a female equivalent on Friday for all 9 of the male races on Saturday.

Seeing fields like the G2 Gulfstream Park Handicap really make you realize how important it is to continue to add BC races because we have such a plethora of great horses out there.
