But not running will make it a less than sucessful event simply because the horse everyone wants to see and would make the BC relevant on the national scene is sitting at home. Perhaps the cynics will enjoy that as it gives them more ammo but it isnt a positive.

And for your info the NTRA is a totally empty group with no authority or say in any of the matters so stop blaming them.



And Freddy, anyone who would defend Ernie paragallo on anything is forever suspect on any topic going forward.

I think that not running her in the BC is acting in the best interests of racing. Awarding the BC two years in a row to SA and a synthetic track was in the best interests of California but not in the best interests of the sport as a whole. Perhaps by not only voicing his displeasure but by keeping the star attraction out, the powers that be will think twice about doing something this stupid again and that would be in the best interests of the sport.
