If the idiots that produce this circus had half a brain, they would run the nine races in 3 1/2 hours. There is less than 20 minutes of actual action in 6 hours. Ever wonder why nobody other than us watches the Breeders Cup?
Seems like they could move it along a little quicker. It does provide good handicapping/drinking time in between races.
