Default Greg Avioli (spelling)

On Jim Rome today, Greg was on and he stated that he hopes to expand the Breeders Cup to 3 days of racing and make it more like a festival setting. He said that he wants to get with entertainers and celebrities to throw parties and to promote the Breeders Cup.

He also blamed the powers that be in horse racing back in the 1950's for the problems the sport has today. Apparently, the leaders of this sport in the 1950's decided not to put racing on TV because they feared that people would not come to the track to watch. He is wanting to expand internet coverage to the key demographic. Not a bad interview at all by Rome.
