BC Official: Friday 'True Championship'

Alan07 · #1 03-02-2008, 05:25 PM

The repackaging of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships and move of female stakes from their customary Saturday spot is part of the plan to make Friday’s program “true Breeders’ Cup championship racing,” Breeders’ Cup president Greg Avioli said.

The shift of all the female championship races to Friday was announced Feb. 27. Breeders’ Cup expanded to a two-day event last year at Monmouth Park in New Jersey.

Breeders’ Cup officials said there should be news soon on race sponsorships. There will be changes; none of the races currently are referred to by sponsor name.

If a filly runs in the turf does she get to start on Friday Allan?

I still can't believe how unbelivably retarded it is to have gender days for the BC.

Do I hear Wednesday for Ridgelings (sp)?

I think I'll show my support for the Breeders Cup Limited by not attending the Breeders Cup this year and I'll also pass on wagering on ALL of the races. I'll just pretend I live in the days when "seperate but equal" really meant something. This decision is to make it Femal Friday is completely absurd.
