the number one thing that would help this big event is tv. get better ratings, you get better ad dollars. so, they need to make themselves more appealing. number one, that means shorten the telecast. number two, get rid of two days, which makes no sense viewer-wise. the super bowl runs about 3.5 hours over one day. the races need to be closer together, to get rid of all the dead time, and to have the exciting moments much, much closer together. bettors will bet regardless. you have to get the t.v. viewership first and foremost. tracks aren't going to turn down having some of the races, since they'll share in the revenue and boost attendance and revenue. the bc needs to take more of the ad money, and less of the handle-leaving the tracks more inclined to partake. have the bc at the tracks that produce the most handle-churchill automatically becomes #1.
