I honestly don't know, but I assumed, that BC purse money came from foal nominations. No more BC equals no more nominating, you get to keep your money in your pocket, instead of trying to produce a horse that can take advantage of those purse supplements. Is that an awful thing?

I was commenting as a fan, not as an owner. I don't forsee owning a horse that can take advantage of the BC Stakes program, so I wasn't initially looking at it that way when I 'd Nick's post.

what about the supplement of graded stakes by the b.c?
