BC Official: Friday 'True Championship'
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. http://news.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=43871&source=rss

If you haven't read Lamarra's B-H piece linked above, you missed this gem:
" Peter Land, hired last October as chief marketing officer for Breeders’ Cup, said Feb. 29 the bolstered Friday program is attractive to ESPN and should help lure some local sponsors. Land, however, also said the decision to move the Ladies' Classic to Friday “was a racing decision first. The intent behind it was to create two separate but equal championship days.” " Boy, that's a great choice of terms 'Pete'.. 'Separate but equal'.. rooted in the great American tradition of inequality and elitism! Congrats fellas! You did boffo! You showed everybody exactly how modern the thinking is around racing.

I've heard a rumor that the BC is going to have a dustpan giveaway on ladies day.
Any truth to that?

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.

Putting marketing people in an industry that they have no knowledge about, especially knowledge about the 'base' of the industry, is the reason you get this.
Marketing people are creative, and they throw as much calculated **** as they can against the wall and see what sticks. I don't fault them for trying, I fault them for not educating themselves about the industry, I fault them for not surrounding themselves by all 'types' of people in the industry, and I fault them for making so many changes at once. I almost think they are just listening to a single people within the industry, instead of talking ideas out with people and seeing potential and working it out.....
