The BC hasn't done anything to the racing calender. Your issue should be with the trainers out there that keep the top horses from meeting more often during the year so that the only time top horses all get together is in the BC and because there are so few opportunities to see them matched up, Eclipse voters place too much emphasis on the BC result. The BC was at the same time of the year back in the 80's and 90's when horses raced more and faced each other more. It's what the trainers and voters have done, not the BC.
