Breeders' Cup to Laurel?

They've come a long ways in the last few years and the turf course is one of the best in the nation. Would be fitting as Laurel held the DC International for many years, in which foreign horses would come over in November after their seasons (usually in Europe) had ended. The irony, of course, is that the International became a victim of the Breeders' Cup's success. Served as a prep for a few more years in the 1980s and then just petered out, especially when Maryland racing went through a slack period.
