Paul Moran seems to think if this happens NY will counter.
The Breeders' Cup only works if it maintains a monopoly and should someone in authority at NYRA decide to add some cash to the pot and do a bit of autumn rescheduling, it is not far-fetched that the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational, Beldame, Flower Bowl Invitational, Vosburgh, Kelso Handicap, Champagne and Frizette could be run on the same day at Belmont Park, effectively mirroring the entire Breeders' Cup spectrum with the exception of the Dirt Mile. All but the Grade 2 Kelso enjoy longstanding Grade 1 status. No one in this industry owes allegiance to the Breeders' Cup, which would most certainly render itself vulnerable to competition were it to station itself permanently on a synthetic surface. The schism would be irreparable.
