Breeders' Cup, never again
 
Turning it into two days with the addition of pseudo-championship races, splitting up the girls and the boys, keeping it at SA two years in a row (and probably making it a two-track show in the future), holding the host tracks financially hostage, kicking up the ticket price beyond the comfort zone of the average fan...

I've been to a few, and always enjoyed them (even sloppy Monmouth), but I'll never go to another Breeders' Cup again.

Just a rant. That feels better.

What a pack of thieves selling a watered down product. Can't wait for the 1 1/2 mile dirt race on Saturday.

He's referring to the fact that it's not really on dirt. . .

Okay...gotcha. Damn rubber bands. Maybe we should start referring to races as turf and non-turf.

Whatever they are going to be doing in Dubai will take the place of the Breeders Cup that weve ruined

Soon it will be cheaper to go to the DWC than the BC.
