If you haven't read Lamarra's B-H piece linked above, you missed this gem:


" Peter Land, hired last October as chief marketing officer for Breeders’ Cup, said Feb. 29 the bolstered Friday program is attractive to ESPN and should help lure some local sponsors. Land, however, also said the decision to move the Ladies' Classic to Friday “was a racing decision first. The intent behind it was to create two separate but equal championship days.” "


Boy, that's a great choice of terms 'Pete'.. 'Separate but equal'.. rooted in the great American tradition of inequality and elitism! Congrats fellas! You did boffo! You showed everybody exactly how modern the thinking is around racing.
