Breeders Cup attendance and ratings up! Because of Zenyatta!

nebrady · #1 11-10-2010, 05:58 PM

Just checked out brisnet and the breeders cup attendance, wagering and ratings were all up big! Do you know why? Because of Zenyatta! For all you people who think she isn't good for the industry, your nuts! Isn't the goal to have more people attend, bet and watch horses in general. If so then there is no way you can say she isn't great for horse industry! Also check out brisnet the trainer who stabled next to Zenyatta, was shocked how many people came out to see her. He said people in taxis pulled up and stopped just to get a glimpse! Yeah shes bad for the industry! Not! lol

I really don't think anyone said she's bad for the industry

Oh really why don't you ask ateamstupid, blackthroatwind and cannon shell. They all thinks shes overrated. Well ratings and attendance don't lie!

Because personally I don't care what they think...and I know for a fact none of them said she's bad for the industry. I think I have to go with the under hockey2315.

From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol

And all of this time I thought ratings and attendance were up because the Breeders Cup was being run on dirt. Geeeeeez.

Not at all.

My worst nightmare would be to be woken up by Smoothie and Rock Tard Hen in negligee.

I really don't mind people being unabashed fans of a horse. What I mind is the illogical lack of reasoning and infantile powers of reasoning that go into calling Zenyatta the greatest of anything, except maybe synthetics.

I'm more than a little surprised that you crossed over to that side.

When did I call her the greatest? It was an amazing experience being at the Breeders Cup, but I don't know how that translates to viewing her as the greatest of all?

(and really, did we need that visual in negligees?!)

Clearly!!!!

I would note that the increase in on-track wagering was significantly lower percentage wise than the increase in attendance. So while folks might have gone to see Zenyatta, a lot of them didn't bet.

Sorry to actually make an on-topic post. I apologize.

Shocking....

Dahoss · #19 11-10-2010, 10:00 PM

I have a question for those in attendance Friday and Saturday. Do the attendance figures seem legit? From everything I have heard, it was dead on Friday, so that number seems inflated.

Duvalier · #20 11-10-2010, 10:06 PM

What was the number for Fri? Attendance was pretty low...the weather or I should say temperature could've had something to do with it
