I understand and I agree. The question did get me thinking about with Japan though? Don't they run on a similiar calendar as N/A racing? We've at least attempted to send some of our popular horses (Lava Man, Summer Bird, etc.) to run in the Japan Cup, but I can't remember a Japanese horse attempting to run in the Breeders' Cup.

Japanese horses have come to Hollywood for the American Oaks but that is the only time I can remember.
