11 race BC not stupid enough..

[Sightseek]

Why not just close all tracks but Churchill and only run the Derby in the spring and this new improved Breeder's Cup in the fall....seems like that is the only thing people in power care about any more and it would fit in perfectly with those short racing campaigns that are all the rage now.

When you get so much brainpower in one place it's just amazing what can happen.

We had eight or nine for this year's BC Turf.....how exactly are we going to fill the additional 1 1/4 mile race?

One thing is for sure....the BC is hellbent on putting the Claiming Crown out of business. Might be time for Moschera to get back in the game.

I'm afraid they are diluting the water with a 16 race BC

Just hand out the Eclipse awards at the Breeders' Cup races one to each winner, one to the leading jockey/trainer/owner and be done with it.

Well, those at the Breeders' Cup must have realized that they only had a few days left this week to pry the trophy for "Worst Idea Ever" away from the Tiajauna Police Department....

I didn't know there was such a pressing need for another 8.5 furlong race for fillies. BC Day is becoming like "Honors and Awards Day" at elementary school. They have to make stuff up so everyone can feel special.

I think they should card a BC Steeplechase Sprint, since they want to have a race for every little niche.
