They can run the BC at Santa Anita every year. It is perfect.
Del Mar was fantastic. Keeneland was great as well.
In the end, you do need "weather" in November. Churchill sucked the 2 years I went, and they decided to put it "under the lights" when it was legitimately 38 degrees. Sucked. And I'm from Nebraska.
I'd love to see it at Belmont, but November is a tough pull. The exact reason why I'm not going this year to Churchill after 10 years of attending.
Weather is huge. Especially when more than half of the people will be outside. Standing outside for 12 hours or more in 40 degree weather isn't much fun. Ever.
