My vote would just be to do it at Belmont every year. Its the perfect race track in every way.

It should be held permanently at Churchill. It needs to be at a neutral site.

Belmont is fine, but I want to see more than one BC dirt race run around two full turns.

How is it a neutral site for the midwest horses based there?

I thought we were getting rid of the Breeders Cup?

Fairplex can save the 2009 Breeders Cup.

As soon as Santa Anita "The Great Race Place" closes it's toast. Dirt or no dirt it's the perfect place.

Since the majority of the American horses racing in any given BC are based in New York/South Florida or California for most of the year, I'd say it is as neutral as we are going to get while keeping it on real dirt. The Midwest horses have their supporters, but the real rivalry is East Coast v. West Coast.
