They will make it mandatory to buy both days regardless. They did the same thing with the Acorn, moving it off of Belmont Day because they wanted to make it a "festival" Result...not as many people get to see the Acorn.
This quite possibly is the dumbest thing I've ever seen, moving the Distaff off of Breeders Cup Day.
