You probably should have stopped posting here.

No matter what anyone thinks about Churchill Downs Inc., they must do what is right by its shareholders and work with its partner NBC for the best possible financial outcome. This date makes the most sense as it is far enough down he road and gives horses time to participate and also participate in the Breeders Cup. I’ll go one further that it may even get more eyeballs on Breeders Cup from non regulars as the Derby Winner will still be fresh in many peoples minds. Your suggestion that Churchill Downs and Louisville should just eat nearly a half Billion dollar loss to accommodate NYRA’s schedule really seems to be one made more on emotion and not based upon sound analysis of the situation here. There is no business where you eat a huge loss to accommodate your competitors schedule.
