Has not been a BC on the east coast since 2007 Monmouth. Had fun at the ones held at Monmouth, Belmont, Woodbine and Gulfstream over the years. Churchill was ok also, great seats through a breeding farm. Way too much west coast. John Gaines turning over.

On the Nick Luck podcast this morning Jay Privman said that Churchill Downs was slated to get the BC in 2025 but told the BC that they would not accept runners from Baffert and the BC would not go along with this so Del Mar was the only alternative.

Anyone remember when the Breeders Cup first started out...the idea was to bring the best horses together at different racetracks around the country. NY,Calif,FL,Kentucky...with a track not in that rotation thrown in. California ,Kentucky rotation has that antiseptic feel. No surprises at where it will take place. Ho Hum as to the venue.
