Seeing as you have the ability to think and type what you are thinking, you have made yourself ineligible.

Sorry.

I think if they added a 3rd BC day it would fix all of the problems.

Don't these races have a nice ring to them...?

All first time starter G1

The 2F Turf Sprint

The Righthand Dirt mile

The Double Classic, 5F on Turf, 5F on Dirt(logistically could be a nightmare)

I think they should have a "win a game of cornhole and pick any horse in your barn for the BC Classic" contest.

Take the top 64 trainers in the national standings and have them throw the cornhole bag in the cornhole with a picture of goatse as the backdrop.

Single elimination. Top 16 make the race. 9-16 110 lbs 8-5 114 lbs 4-3 140 lbs 2nd 150 lbs 1st 160 lbs.

So, your idea would encourage these trainers to do well enough to get in, but not so well that they pack on the high weight?

I think you should have the weights done in reverse order, so as to avoid any possible conflicts of....

Oh, nevermind. I like your idea!

The double classic would be a pretty fun race. I'm at least half serious.

The only way I would accept a track announcer/jockey agent is if they were a Wayans brother playing a Jamaican.

Maybe they could time the start of the races so the Classic horses hit the top of the stretch at the same time the Turf horses have to cross over the main track. Should appeal to the NASCAR fans.

The only people more out to lunch then the BC committee has to be their bankers... This bank gave them a $10 million credit line, of which they tapped $5.9 million this year. Would you want these idiots who run their business at an annual mutli-million dollar loss to owe you that?

This could work as a BC-NFL tie in. But no headstarts.
