Ridiculous pink saddlecloths for the "ladies" on Friday wouldn't surprise me a bit. Might help for a few thousands to send an e-mail with their comments to
breederscup@breederscup.com
But I doubt it. The reply I received was:

Thank you for your recent email to the Breeders’ Cup.
The decision to move the filly and mare Championships to Friday was made to provide a showcase for the world’s best Thoroughbred female athletes, to position the Ladies’ Classic as the finale of its own Championship day and to provide fans with a better understanding of the races that make up our two-day World Championships. We believe it will help draw new fans to our sport and our event -- and give us an opportunity to raise funds for worthy non-profit organizations.
We recognize that not everyone will agree with our decision; and the Breeders’ Cup management certainly respects your opinion. We hope that you will give this new format and Championship day a chance and remain interested in the variety of activities surrounding the 25th running of the Breeders’ Cup in October.
Sincerely,
Breeders’ Cup Limited
