Time for NYRA to stage their own show 4 weeks in advance of BC. Screw BC

100% agree.

Looks like this year Oct 18th already has few stakes races, maybe NYRA can add a few or change some dates ala Belmont Day, race wise that seemed to go very well

tanner12oz 06-17-2014 11:03 AM

assuming dates would be October 31 and November first correct?

I have been there on Bluegrass Stakes Day with 27k and it was a madhouse. I realize that Keeneland will exhaust every resource to accommodate a larger crowd, but I'm going to stay home and watch this first one they will host. Hope all goes well and it is the first of many....

Did NYRA submit a proposal/application? They didn't the last couple of years...

I have not been able to confirm this anywhere.

I stated this as being the dates for Friday and Saturday, not the official days for the BC. Personally, I would think they fit good right here. Make it the last weekend of the Keeneland fall meet, then CD picks up the following Thursday. Would make sense for all involved.

I do not see how they could possibly come close to accommodating 60,000 or more.

Unfortunately, I think they'll have to limit tickets, it's the only solution I see. If they put temporary seats on the apron, and beyond the Clubhouse, I don't think they should sell any General Admission. The other thing is I hope it doesn't rain. Most of the parking around Keeneland are grassy areas and a few years ago it rained a solid week, and it was tough to find parking. I think this could be a great event (more for TV than in person), so it'll be interesting.

You bet.

Still waiting for Parx to get a Breeders' Cup.

Kidding of course - won't happen. I would go though if it did.

Now that the Cup weekend will be at Keeneland, that criticism cannot be used again.

Not being a smart ass here... my favorite BC was at Belmont and I am sad every year when it's announced it won't be there again... but I'm curious as to what other criticisms there were as I thought the only one was (for some people with no spine) it's too cold.

Oh and I forgot to say this SUCKS.
