IMO, Churchill should be permanent host. the temp is usually decent, central location and CD can handle the crowd.

At this point, if it would keep the BC away from synthetics, I'd agree with you.

At least until the Socal tracks get their heads out of their asses.

Or Ravioli gets ousted.

if they want to do synthetics, why not keeneland? it would close thier meet. some of the runners are already there from opening weekend of the meet. same other reason as CD.

Keeneland is too small

If not for the rain, i thought Monmouth was an OK site. Lone Star did a decent job when it was there.

Belmont, obviously has lots of room and albeit the weather can be cold in November its not unbearable. Churchill fits

Agree that Santa Anita should be out, but it is a nice facility there

Not a whole lot of options when you think about it

Churchill, Belmont, Arlington, Gulfstream and Santa Anita

Locked Rotation so each course hosts every 5 years.

I don't know if Gulfstream has enough room for scads of temporary seating they would have to bring in.

Gulfstream is no longer a racetrack

I would say a Churchill-Belmont rotation would be the way to go.
