1. The people that run racing are for the most part....not very smart.
2. The people that run the Breeders Cup make the people in #1 look like brain surgeons in comparison.
The BC used to be 7 races for a lot of money, it was special to win one of these races, there are 14 now. Seriously, to me its the original 7, maye the FM Turf as well, but the rest dont carry BC weight with me, they are the under card races.
The FM Sprint for example, all it has done is watered down the sprint, the two or three best fillies would compete with the Sprint...and they won!
The Dirt Mile has taken away horses from the classic (this year maybe the exception).
The Turf juveniles, all it did was water down the regular juvenile races.
Just moronic decisions, and that has nothing to do with location. I am sure when its 40 degrees and raining next year your going to hear the same stuff. And heaven forbid if anyone gets hurt (the past 2 years no one has).
