I have always liked the Breeders' Cup rotating amongst a lot of racetracks... for one, the game does not only happen in NY, KY or Cal. Secondly, there are lots of fair weather racetracks who could handle the BC. Finally, I think a big event grows best when introduced to a variety of markets.
People are sour about venues such as Monmouth all of the sudden because it rained... as if it would never rain somewhere else? I thought Monmouth was an awesome venue, and would love to go there again.

I'm glad Monmouth is getting some love from the DT crowd. I grew up there, so I am biased, but it is a beautiful facility. They really did an awesome job with the BC but the rain was a real tragedy. I hope we get another shot someday. I was so fired up to be 5 minutes from the BC and then the rain came...

Monmouth is a great facility. I was at the 2007 BC and enjoyed it thoroughly (luckily my seats were in the grandstand) and was also at Lone Star in 2004. The "2nd tier" tracks need a look especially considering their seating capacity will not really matter once Avioli ruins the BC brand.

Monmouth got knocked by alot of pundits because the weather stunk. The weather can stink anyplace and anytime. They did a good job with what they had.
I like the idea of moving the Cup and letting people that support the tracks/circuits around the country see it at home.
