I dont think its a terrible idea to have top quality racing on 2 days to make it more of a festival. I think Dubai is going to go that way as well with a 2 day World Cup event, but I think calling it the Ladies Classic is just stupid dumbing down of horse racing (along with world thoroughbred championships) and puts off many racing fans..

well would you rather prefer Curlin facing mediocre horse for the first half of the year than facing a field with a number of worth opponents? Dubai is what racing should be..

Yes I'd rather him be in America taking it easy and preparing for the rest of the year instead of going to that cursed desert shithole and winning a race against a few South American nags and Euro turfers who have no business in the race to begin with.

grand so.. you want him back in the states facing nothing with his whole year geared towards the most "over-hyped, arrogance driven" product in horse racing.
