If one is impartial that is still 1 better than LS even giving her the benefit of the doubt of The La Canada series that Rollo wants to give her.

You're missing the point. It's about the historical significance of the race. Rollo's point was that the Lady's Secret was created solely as a BC prep, whereas the JCGC has been around for a million years and used to be the equivalent of the BCC. We're not talking about what the races mean TODAY (although the JCGC still dwarfs the LS today).
