Hong Kong pays the expenses of the horses, and their connections, to come for those races. The BC does not. Plus, the current value of the US dollar isn't helping either.

the HK Sprint is the World Championship turf sprint race attracting the best horses from Europe, Asia and Australia. Any addition of its kind to the Breeders Cup would not add alot IMO..

in my opinion they are just going to ruin the breeder's cup with too many options. The 3 races they added this year sort of made sense.

I hate turf sprints though, if that's what they're adding now. I guess it's just from having to handicap 12 horse maiden turf sprints at Belmont where no horse has any reliable form that I slowly began to hate turf sprints...
