Two years in a row?
As I've said before, I don't consider myself a poly-hater, but if they schedule the BC on poly, I don't see why anyone can, or should, complain if the connections of a dirt horse decide not to run there. The same would apply to poly horses if they run the BC on dirt.
I just think the addition of what effectively is a third surface to the game has made the idea of a horse racing 'championship' weekend even more of a farce, because the BC doesn't accurately reflect anything close to a real championship.

Sportsmen dont let trivial matters get in the way of their sportmanship.
