Enjoyed the BC Classic thread, especially the information with regards to them Euros.
Aidan OBrien has tried BC Dirt races in the past with limited success. I just do not understand why he doesnt send a string over in September, maybe to a Fair Hill type situation where he can train Euro style, get a race in on a dirt strip (ok, or a synthetic surface), get his horse on a lasix regimen, etc.
I think one of my first posts on this board may have concerned running the Breeder's Cup series in Europe every few years. Yes, I know from the lasix problem and the time difference. I also think it would give us the opportunity to experience a great handicapping challenge.
If you really think outside the box, imagine an event staged on two continents on the same day (dirt in NA, turf in Europe).
