The Breeder's Cup does attract horses from Europe. However, the Dubai Carnival gets horses from everywhere. Just off the top of my head, South Africa, Austraila, Japan, Hong Kong and even Norway were represented on yesterday's card. Which Breeder's Cup does that line up resemble?

We should change the entire North American racing calendar to accomodate horses from the Southern Hemisphere? Interesting notion.

It's because of this kind of backwards thinking that Bambera never got a chance to shine in this country.

Shame on you.

No one suggested changing anything of this sort. I think we have gotten far from the original point of this post at this point.
