Breeder's Cup
Can this really be true.
I've just read on a certain networking site that at this years BC (maybe at all of them, i'm not sure) that jockeys were getting charged for parking permits, and owners are also charged for entry badges. Surely this cannot be true for something that is billed as the "world championships" Also, Sam Houston the "likely" host for the BC in 2010...... this has to be a joke, right? Apparently this was written in the Monmouth race programme. |
Did they beat out Dubai?
|
First post in Dubai... 4am? Classic will run at noon. Then, you will have time to play afternoon cards of US racetracks.

I asked a question. If jocks and owners really do have to pay, that is just stupid. |
There's was a thread here already, I'm not sure what the resolution was.

I apologise. i didn't see that thread. I did have a quick look to see if anything had been posted but i obviously didn't look hard enough. Sorry. |
This article says they will choose 2009 in July?
http://news.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=38514 I've seen Mountaineer as the frontrunner for 2009 and Dubai for 2010. I'm sure there are helpful people on this board that will clarify that. |

A frozen track would be better than what we saw this weekend.
|
it's going to be in my backyard in 2013.
|
with what they charge the fans for seats I wouldn't be surprised what the B.C. committee charges anyone or do.

It needs to be at Tampa Bay Downs one year.
Party at Bigs house... |

Do you think the BC races should have been delayed (due to track conditions) for a day? A week?

Kudos to Monmouth Park
I was there and felt they did a great job of hosting it despite the weather and unfortunate event that occurred in the classic. Staff was very pleasant & tellers were abundant. Never had to wait long for anything (Beer, Food, Bathroom Lines, most cases able to bet right before Post-Time) etc. Staff did a very good job IMHO. Weather was not their fault.

Churchill will act like they don't want it and say they need more money from the BC since the revenue isn't there.
The tax incentives and boosted interest/handle will possibly put it there every year. Wouldn't be a bad idea. Like Royal Ascot but all in one day. |
