on the wagering. the breeders cup is a sad event when the betting angle is "throw out the dirt horses in the races that are labeled dirt" ie:dirt sprint, dirt juveniles and dirt classics. what a joke, but everyone knew it was the truth. so wagering will be better where more horses have a legit shot. i'm pretty confident the "poly" and grass horses won't win all the races and they won't be cross entered in every other event like this year. face it, this years edition had some nice racing with good stories and great betting opportunities but calling it the world championships is an absolute joke when most of the dirt horses don't or can't run on the stuff. in other words the words "classic" and "dirt mile" will actually mean what it says.
