F the BC. They think they are racing now. I would love to see NYRA go to war with them and make NY the place where the champs are decided. Like it used to be.

They should have a turf sprint festival. That'll show 'em.

So what happened to the...

"We....(Churchill).....can't make enough of a profit hosting the BC to make it worth our while!!)


.......supposedly in response to previous announcements that SA would be the site of the next 2 BS.....I mean BC "festivals"......what happened did they squeeze a few more bucks out of the event by adding 1/4 horse events??

Such a joke to screw NYRA yet again.....I hope the horsemen boycott the thing and turn it into a "Replacement BC".....ala the NFL strike season!!

Why on earth would they have any desire to do that?

i don't know what happened. perhaps the bc made a different deal with churchill than in the past? but a shame they couldn't just wait and host in '11, since '10 was already supposedly spoken for.

These people piss me off from their phony "Win and you can pay to be in racing" to their worsening destruction of the racing season where every race run between now and the first of the year is neutered because of this astroturf festival in Southern California the next two years.

These "mercenary muppets" will not have the best horses in the world at the Astroturf Festival this year because the poly boycot contingent,which silently grows by the day, will make these races a disgrace. The "Win and Your In" lies,awarding NYRA 2010 and then backing out, forcing two years of Poly on everyone gives us a trifecta of reasons for why the Championships are being ruined by fools who have become reason enough to boycott the event. Good Luck wagering on this event this year. There is more order to a lottery.

The Breeders Cup Ltd. is based in Kentucky, and loses state tax breaks in 2009 if the BC isn't held again at Churchill. CD was holding them hostage for a larger cut of profit. Probably some deal.
