Imagine if the Fair Grounds gets the Breeders Cup.....they can run that race at a mile and 40 yards.

I've always wanted to know the true champion at that distance.

I don't buy into the fact that Friday is going to hurt the handle. OK, you have almost 10 months to get that one day off. I know I will not be working. Hell, I always take the day before the Breeders Cup off anyways.

If I take it off, I am usually broke for that Saturday, so I try and work. To me, it makes no sense to have 7 BC races on one day and 3 on another, have 5 and 5 or all 10 on one day

Be happy that no matter what the conditions of the new races are at least the Breeders Cup Ltd is spending money on races instead of paying big $ salaries to a bunch of buffoons like Tim Smith
