	Magnier to Breeders' Cup: Come to Europe \| bloodhorse.com
		In his comments, Magnier equated the Breeders' Cup being held in Europe and the U.S. with attracting an international audience on a level with golf's Ryder Cup, according to the Post.
		Magnier acknowledged that for the Cup races to visit Europe every other year would require considerable cooperation and financing on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
		Magnier further states his belief that future Breeders' Cups be held in locations with climates similar to previous host sites of Churchill Downs (Kentucky), Belmont Park (New York), and Woodbine (Canada) and of Arlington Park, the Illinois site where the 2002 races will be staged.
