It was a foregone conclusion. There's a very narrow set of choices for sites for the event right now and Santa Anita is overwhelmingly the best option on that list. There are factors making it difficult to rotate around North America as in earlier decades of the Cup.. It's best served being at Santa Anita until those factors change.

Its impossible for higher up people in the industry to not **** up a good thing. Different tracks was part of the interesting thing about it and basically it has just turned into just another day with big purses at the same old track over and over again.
