I know I'll be ripped for this, but I don't think the BC should ever be held at Belmont. None of the races start in front of the grandstand, all of the dirt races are run around 1 turn (except the Classice which is 1 1/2 turns), and the weather seems to suck every time they host it. Other than the history of track, what does Belmont offer?. I have never been to Aqueduct, but is there some reason it can't return there? I know the weather is the same as Belmont, but at least fans could see the start and finish of most races, and the Distaff and juvys wouldn't be one-turn races.

Churchill may not even want it every year or every two years, but I'd let them host as often as they want it.
