    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Instead of providing a world championship the various regional championships have become just that. High-value end-of-season cards for the best local talent and a handful of token internationals ... with valuable Breeders' Cup-style meetings now in every corner of the globe there is less incentive to risk travelling the best horses. The obvious option for connections of the best in each region at the end of the year is to pick up huge prize-money for beating the same horses they've been beating all season."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Nevertheless, the only way to have a true world championship meeting would be to have it in a different jurisdiction each year - one year in Hong Kong, the next Dubai, then Australia, the United States, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, and so on. Something like the Breeders' Cup switching tracks each year (even if five of the last seven were held at Santa Anita, with the last two at Churchill Downs, but that's beside the point). In fact, the Breeders' Cup called for bids from overseas tracks in 2007 in an attempt to turn it into a true global event, but that fizzled out quickly. Still, there's hope that it could happen in the future, right?" Unlikely, for several reasons.]]></description>

It has two rivals, France’s Arc meeting and the Breeders’ Cup in America and it is a feather in Ascot’s cap that the Breeders’ Cup is worried enough after just two years to now offer a £26,000 travel allowance, something it never contemplated before, for European runners."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["It will be difficult to let it go too, when the moment arrives on Saturday afternoon and Frankel walks into retirement, hopefully with his perfect winning record still intact. No one in the sell-out crowd of nearly 33,000 at Ascot will expect to see another one like him, even when his sons and daughters start to appear on the track in four years' time. A freak like Frankel is once in a lifetime, and the concentration of genes for speed, strength, athleticism and more that makes him what he is will be slowly diluted over the generations. His name, though, will endure since the final race of Frankel's career does not mark the end of the story, but the start of a new chapter. He will be inked into the pedigrees of thoroughbreds for as long as there is racing."]]></description>

Next year, the Breeders' Cup will be run on a conventional dirt surface and with over £1million in prize money, we hope most of the good 10-furlong horses will stay at home and run at Ascot."

It may yet be, of course, that some apparent no-hoper barges through and beats them all. And that, if we're not careful, is just the kind of disobliging behaviour that might some day drive these marketing cadets away from thoroughbreds -- and then where would we find the dimensionless froth to tempt all these lovely young ABC1s?"
