They really wouldn't need to spend that much. As it grew established the BC would continue to lose revenue as breeders stopped paying the nomination fees. BC purses would plummet over time. They are already having the races, why not just market them as a championship day and maybe boost the purses a little at first and then more each year if the day continues to generate additional handle.

It's a war period..Owners, Breeders, horseman, would all have to choose sides..Racing doesn't need a continental divide, unity would server all better. Revolution works it just kills millions in the process. Too me it makes more sense to work together.
