Imagine.
The BC at Hawthorne.

*shudder*

Could it be worse than the BC at Monmouth seven years ago?

How sketchy is the neighborhood where Monmouth is at?
Because Hawthorne is in a super sketch area.

As I said before, Pointgivenfan, I don't support on the permanent move of having a permanent site for the Breeders' Cup World Championships, because it gives no variety of choice to have different racetracks for the Breeders' Cup World Championships to horse racing fans across the United States. In addition, I don't support the idea having either one of these major racetracks to become the permanent site for the Breeders' Cup. In my opinion, no major racetracks include Hawthorne, Arlington Park, Churchill Downs, Monmouth Park, Del Mar, Santa Anita, and Woodbine should become the permanent site for the Breeders' Cup World Championships. Having a permanent site for the Breeders' Cup World Championships is like putting the Olympics in Los Angeles, putting the World Cup in the United States every time during every four year period, or putting the Super Bowl in New York every year, it doesn't give the variety of choice to have different locations to sport fans around the world.  It should be on different racetracks for the Breeders' Cup World Championships every year, two to three consecutive years of the Breeders' Cup World Championships in the same location, that's enough, and that's fine for me.

That was a lot of words that have already been said (repeatedly) in this thread and also had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what I said.

I'm trying to figure out what relevance your post had to mine and am coming up empty-handed, mchorse.

It doesn't.

Looking at the prospective field, I don't think the guns will even need to be particularly blazing.

I've never seen anything about MMM or Wise Dan being pointed for this.

I meant for the Classic, clearly.
Poly v dirt, etc, etc.
Are you saying each race has different qualifiers (i.e. the surface of the last prep race for Classic entrants is not a qualifier for that race)?

Right. I mean it is a "Win and you're in" prep for the BC Classic, so I assume it would be a qualifier for the Classic even though its at 9 furlongs vs. 10.

...I was asking about his 20/20 thing.

Game on Dude isn't running in the Mile

It isn't one profile stretched over 13 races. It's 13 different profiles.

The only other time (since 1995 when my data begins) the Mile had 0 perfect qualifiers was 1995. That year the tri was swept by horses with 1 strike against.

It will be interesting to see what happens this year. The BC Mile 20/20 profile has identified 31 perfect qualifiers from 18 runnings. There are 13 winners among those 31. Their combined record is 31-13-4-4 and technically it's 13 from 17 races because one race had no qualifiers.

I'm curious to know how not even Wise Dan himself was a perfect qualifier for the Mile.

He wasn't even close, but neither was he perfect last year. One of the statistical requirements is that the horse in question earn their highest lifetime figure on the grass. Dan's best number came on Keeneland's Poly. He is the only horse in the history of this race to have successfully defied that criteria.

Dan had 3 strikes against him this year for his lack of recent layoff, off surface prep race and lifetime best figure not being earned on the grass.

Wouldn't Game on Dude's prep race technically be "off-surface"?

I also have a pet project for the Breeders' Cup called the 20/20 which is essentially a statistical profiling system.

A profile has been created for every race aside from the Marathon. Here are the perfect qualifiers below

Juvenile Turf - Aotearoa/Bashart/Bobby's Kitten/Outstrip/Poker Player
Dirt Mile - Golden Ticket/Pants On Fire/Verrazano
Juvenile Fillies Turf - Al Thakhira/Chriselliam/Clenor/My Conquestadory/Testa Rossi
Distaff - Princess of Sylmar/Royal Delta
Juvenile Fillies - Artemis Agrotera/Sweet Reason
FM Turf - Laughing/Marketing Mix/Tiz Flirtatious
FM Sprint - Dance to Bristol/Groupie Doll/Judy the Beauty/Sweet Lulu
Turf Sprint - Chips All In/Mizdirection/Unbridled's Note
Juvenile - Diamond Bachelor/Havana/Tap It Rich
Turf - Indy Point/Little Mike/Point of Entry/The Fugue
Sprint - Private Zone
Mile - No Qualifiers
Classic - Game On Dude/Flat Out/Fort Larned/Mucho Macho Man

39 Qualifiers over 12 races. The Mile has no perfect qualifiers this year.

I'm curious to know how not even Wise Dan himself was a perfect qualifier for the Mile.

Are you going to the Breeders Cup, mc?

No, I will be watching all the Breeders' Cup races with Trevor Denman's call on calracing.com, and go to a restaurant to have a nice dinner with my family after the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Why settle for that when you and your family could go to the races and hear Denman in person?
Seeing as you live in California, surely that is an option.

And as a friendly suggestion, since this thread is about who is (or is not) attending the Breeders Cup, I would recommend leaving any future comments about racecallers in the other thread you already created about that same topic.

Tin Man, if you are going to the Breeders' Cup, you will be hearing Trevor, who will be calling all of the Breeders' Cup races for the fans at Santa Anita, Breeders' Cup simulcast Network on RTN, breederscup.com, calracing.com, xpressbet.com, and the Horse Racing Radio Network live while Larry Collmus, who will be calling all of these races exclusively on NBC Sports Network and NBC. By the way, on October 20th, after I received the news that Conan O'Brien will be Trevor Denman's guest for the second race last Friday, what I decided to do on that day is to do my own race call of the same race that Mr. O'Brien called at home, and listen to Trevor's call of the other seven races from the Santa Anita Autumn Meet, instead of doing my own race call of all the races from Golden Gate Fields, on the 25th.
