spokeman jim gluckson said they wanted a classic race for win and your in at a northeast racetrack. his reason was suffolk was not having its race this year. last years edition was commentator and a bunch of high priced claimers, i guess thats the caliber of horses that the BC wants to attract(suffolk vs. saratoga....lol). they were not going to have any win and your in races at saratoga. the breeders cup has become a complete debacle. the best horses around will be racing here starting next week and for the next 3 months ny will have the best racing in the country. after saratoga, belmont has their championship meet. yet, the breeders cup entity acts like ny tracks barely exist. why? they are having it at the same track twice in a row. its just stupid! it won't happen but i wish belmont put together a card to compete with the breeders cup. i used to think breeders cup day was a good thing but i have alot of doubts now. if it were to go under, which it could, it may not be bad for racing! it used to force horses to meet at least once but now its not even going to accomplish that! why have it?
