It's not only the fact of Santa Anita back to back. Those idiots shouldn't run the Breeders Cup back to back on synthetics. Maybe if I throw enough dog sh it on my backyard I can get it awarded next year.

I think he means back to back to back at Santa Anita?

They are doing an amazing job of ruining the Breeders Cup.

Why not just run it in Europe or Japan?

That would be a FAR better idea than another year of Santa Anita.

The NTRA and The Breeders Cup are like Freddie Mac and Frannie Mae

Yeah - they are sharp.

If Curlin hadn't been sacrificed up to run in the BC Classic last year ... there is probably no way they'd have considered a 3rd straight year out there.

Japan is sounding like a brilliant place to have a Breeders Cup card at all of a sudden.

I am pretty sure that Belmont was not in contention the last few years because no one was sure who was going to get awarded the contract to run the tracks. Now that it has been straightened out, NYRA will likely be back in the bidding for future BC's.

I know people are bitching but I sure had a hell of a time last year and really looking forward to going back to LA for three days again, then going to Vegas for four days, and then to San Fran to see the Bears play Thursday night

Uh, people.

It's returning to SA THIS year, not next year.

There was some question for awhile as to it being moved to CD because of Magna issues.

It's not being moved for 2009. That's all.
