I think all BC dirt races from now on should be run on Aqueduct\'s inner track.
Seriously, what better place than Churchill Downs. Great turf course, fair to both the Euros and Americans. Hold it in late October, hope for good weather, and let the games begin.
Also, they can finally run the Dirt Mile the way it should be run....out of a chute.
A no-brainer decision being decided by people with no brains.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
you\'re preaching to the choir!
if they go ahead and make it permanent at Santa Anita as I have been told they are, I think they need to eliminate the synthetic mile.
They are looking for ways to save purse money now and it\'s essentially the same race as the turf mile on the pro ride so that would be one race that I think would have to be taken out.
Now, maybe the same could be argued for the turf sprint but at least the SA turf sprint is a downhill so it has some different elements compared to the pro ride sprint.
