I hope they don't make it a permanent site.

It's a terrible idea to make a permanent site so that is just what they will do.

as i've said before, a permanent site is a bad idea.
however, if they choose to pick one, it absolutely should be CD. they have better handle and attendance then any other track that's hosted it.

Friday was definitely the "less crowded" day, but it was still fun.

I'm a fan of the two day event. More play, better for the local economy etc.

Garbage. NY handles big days better and doesn't play with the track like the clowns in KY do.

not sure what you're calling garbage. i've read an article that shows handle for each bc, and cd's always the biggest.

That's an awful idea!

Believe it or not not everyone wants to go running to Churchill.

I live in LA, best one I've been to was Belmont.

They need to be fair to us, the east coast, people closer to Gulfstream, Woodbine, Lone Star...

No way should it be at 1 place no matter which place their talking about, period.

The 2 day event is ok but why have it on friday? Sat and Sun sounds better.

I would like to see it at Fair Grounds. A good bit of temporary seating would have to be brought in, but the weather would be perfect and New Orleans excels at hosting major sporting events.

Good luck getting anyone to watch with the NFL going on at the same time.

The NFL would stand for Not For Long for all of us if we tried going up against that 1000lb Gorilla

on a sunday during football season? yeah, ratings would be thru the roof.

edit-i see others beat me to that punch.

absolutely, i think the bc should travel. it's been billed as being for all breeders, not just those in ky.

I hate the idea of a permanent site for a BC, and think it's terribly unfair for CD to get to host racing's 2 biggest days...I like a traveling BC site. And think that no one should have it 2 years in a row....Dirt and Poly should both be part of the equation.

Who exactly is it unfair to?
