Of course it's "feasible"...unless they are planning on holding it on the Moon.

The words that should have been used are Benefits, Challenges, Popularity, Effect, Stupidity, Narrow Mindedness, etc, etc, etc...

It should rotate between CD and Bel, with a track other than those two every third year.

WHEN Santa Anita goes back to dirt, they should have a 3 site rotation with an other every 4th year.

-Lone Star

the non-fans are more important than the fans.

we are taken

for granted

I know
they can have a nascar race going on at the same time as the BC Champonships. All they have to do is move the BC to the old Sportsman's Park
the NASCAR fans will suddenly discover horse racing and...

damn, I hope they don't read this

Word on another board, from someone who spoke with a BC board member, is SANTA ANITA as the permanent host.

Message boards might blow up when this gets announced

Thats what I heard a few weeks ago from an unnamed source. SUPPOSEDLY.. some people will be buying SA that have BC connections..

also along with that SA may be going back to dirt.

this is all just trade rumors but my source is in the know

They need to hold it on synthetic every year so we can hear Jess Jackson whine.

Went back and listened to Bobby Flay's surprise appearance on the show...

Simply awesome. Glad he is so passionate about it - hope the sport can harness his passion and popularity.

On a separate note, I sat about 15 feet from Flay on opening day at Saratoga this year. It was about an hour, maybe more, before first post on opening day and Flay was in his box, by himself, handicapping. Amen.

He was NOT handicapping.. He was reworking a recipe for a THROWDOWN at Carolina BBQ..

Having a rotating site was a great idea because it gives more fans an opportunity to see the BC every few years..

There are no decisions or commitments in place. Santa Anita is a possible site, as is Churchill or Hialeah or Belmont... Racetracks are being asked to offer proposals for partnership with BC Limited as possible permanent sites, and a process will evolve from there. And absolutely nothing related to Santa Anita will be determined until the resolution of the Magna bankruptcy.
