Only going to speak on what I have an opinion on and can make sense of - taking this event to 2 days. Bad move and here is why, what I love about The Breeder's Cup, as I am sure others do as well, is that it is a day jam packed with 8 of the best of the best races. Now, what they have done is made the Cup an 11 Race event, but dragged it over 2 days in what seems an attempt to generate more revenue - I don't see any other reason. Why could they not just run all 11 Races on the same day and drop those 2 early races? It seems to these vigin eyes that this is a feebile attempt at generating more revenue not only for the host track but of course the host city as well.

I don't see, by the way, people changing plans as we speak to make sure they are at the host track to see those 3 races Friday evening - not too mention this question that BEGS to be asked -

Does ESPN expect to get any kind of ratings on their Friday telecast of these 3 Races?

Just my 2 cents - pack it all into 1 day and you have a blast - 1st post at say 10:30 am?
