I do not know what the uproar is all about. Does it really matter where the Breeders Cup is contested (as long as it isn't at a Synthetic track every year)? Who cares if the Cup is at Churchill, Belmont, Arlington, Gulfstream, etc et. It is a day of racing that showcases some very good talent, has large pools, full fields, and some decent payoffs. It is what it is and nothing more and nothing less.

Talk about ANCIENT HISTORY who cares now?
I've been to two BC at Belmont since then and they were A-OK.

I see you fail to mention the last BC at SA...100degree heat, fires everywhere, ashes covering LA. I'm sure the horses just loved runnung in that polluted air...

Cold??

How about the all the rain in Monmouth last year?? They could have stolen delmar's slogan - where the surf meets the turf - that day!

What next??? ....an indoor arena where the entire environment is controlled?
