There's a super, it's just not a dime super for the classic.

I used to really look so forward to Breeders Cup Day..It was like Christmas for me.. However, the way things are now, I'm starting to look forward to it about as much as I do "Ground hog Day".

I think there's a mistake......I find it more than a little hard to believe there are Pick-4s in back to back races.

I sure hope so, it seemed a baffling decision.

And do people think that if they did something like a 50 cent or $1 minimum all BC P5 on Friday that it would really cripple their P6 pool? I'd think there would be enough money being bet on the day and enough different players in each pool that both would do fine and combined they'd take in more handle.

I couldn't agree with you more on this. I actually already made plans to play golf on BC Saturday and will work on "Ladies" day.

Very disappointing what this event has become, I doubt this is what John Gaines had in mind when came up with the "Championship" concept. Do we really need a turf sprint championship or dirt marathon? I originally said I wouldn't even make any wagers this year after they watered down the races so much and moved the ladies races to Friday, but I'll probably end up betting at least a little. It will be significantly less than I wagered last year.

It will be interesting to see what the total handle is this year compared to the last two years. I know it was down last year due to the weather we'll see what happens this year with the economy.

Oh and by the way when will the "Dirt Mile" actually be contested at a mile on the dirt?

OK I'll step down from my soap box now.

I must of mis-read it the first time. My bad. That's stupid if there's no super at all in the BCC.
