B.C. Classic...The ten race B.C. program should be:<br /><br />B.C. Classic<br /><br />B.C. Ladies Classic<br /><br />B.C. Turf<br /><br />B.C. Mile<br /><br />B.C. FM Turf<br /><br />B.C. JV<br /><br />B.C. JV Fillies<br /><br />B.C. Sprint<br /><br />B.C. JV Turf<br /><br />B.C. JV Filly Turf<br /><br />I believe this to be the perfect ten as it appeals to all. It also eliminates the four races that dilute the others. The dirt mile became the junior varsity for the classic while the marathon became the consolation race for horses not quite good enough for the turf. These new races weakened the stalwart races by annexing entries. <br /><br />By leaving the JV turf races the B.C. can appease the breeders who are the Breeders' Cup primary patrons. Also the JV turf races appeal to the Europeans who the B.C. need to court to maintain the international nominations. These are the right ten races to keep. Drop the marathon, the dirt mile, the FM sprint and the turf sprint. Those four races did nothing but undermine the old races and extended an already whopper of a program into a two day behemoth.G.

I agree 100% w/ everything you said. What ...P-Cap,<br />I agree 100% w/ everything you said. What the BC needs is a selection of great championship caliber horse races - especially great betting races. I'm fairly certain few people care about artifices like "win and you're in." <br /><br />I wish I spent Ladies Day (or whatever it's called) on the beach - good decision.Steve Mundayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610339768009395207noreply@blogger.com
