Sure, we would miss out on one day of the best racing on the planet. But, would that be made up more by our top horses potentially running more often in other races?
Not sure if the top horses would potentially run more often without the Breeders Cup. Probably not given the state of racing today....

I certainly wouldn't shed a tear if the BC went away, but they're still giving out the money, so unless the entire BC system goes bankrupt, how exactly is Belmont going to draw horses away from the BC?
