Satish was on again yesterday and we went through the topic again. There is no set timetable. Churchill is hosting in 2010, and tracks will be submitting proposals for partnership with the BC and they'll go from there...

And those that are convinced somehow that Santa Anita is already the decided upon locale may want to listen to Sanan's responses...

I really dont care if it is a rotation or at CD, or even dropped for that matter, but it would be a lot easier to market if it was in one place.

Right but since the BC takes virtually all of the revenue under the current setup, what's in it for CD?

exactly! part of the bc's issue is they take every bit of the bc handle. that's why i don't see monmouth trying again any time soon to be host.

Although he went out of his way to say 1) there is no deal at present 2) they have spent a ton of money and time looking at these sites:

a) CD
b) SA
c) Belmont
d) Woodbine

3) They have spent more than enough time and money to solve this for the long term sometime in calendar year 2010.....

He made a couple comments that left you with the idea that CD has no interest in making a long term commitment to something that does not give them control of it.

It just seemed from listening to him yesterday, without saying it emphatically, that the permanent home will end up being SA and that the silly putty track will be ripped out for dirt as a condition of the agreement.

I would be very surprised if others listening didn't come away with the same conclusion.

At least he didn't cus like a sailor this week, you can hear the frustration in the poor guys voice when he talks about the continued lack of uniform agreement among the holy 47.

What's in it for Santa Anita? The host tracks doesnt make a windfall off of the event so why be the permanent host of an event that takes a tremendous amount of work to pull off but isnt compensating you? I just cant believe anyone would want to be a permanent host under the current setup.

Wouldn't CD lose their tax break if they didn't get the BC again? It may not benefit CD directly but it benefits the city of Louisville who in turn passes some of that benefit on to Churchill in tax breaks.

No, I believe that situation has changed.

Belmont is the only place to have it. The new york media is the world's "best/worse" and the jump off point for the Euro's and Middle East connections. Screw the rest of the country! (JK)
