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.


this is a head scratcher. How in the world are they going to get new fans to the sport on a friday when the old fans aren't excited about using vacation day to attend or wager on a watered down event.

I hear people say they hate the Breeder's Cup. I can't imagine what there is to hate about the original format. Maybe these people are now in charge of the event.

Seriously it makes no sense. What next? Tom Petty in the infield? Fireworks?
I don't have anything against Tom Petty or fireworks. I just don't see how that promotes the sport. People that show up for the other stuff aren't going to become fans. They are just going to ruin it for the people that are.

Pink -race for the cure- saddle clothes.. I almost expect it.
