I understand that Santa Anita was the only one that would agree to the terms that were offered to host the Breeders Cup.

The way it was explained to was that Santa Anita will turn the facility over to the Breeders Cup for a fee that would be equal to what Santa Anita would make on that weekend of their normal racing program.

The Breeders Cup gets the extra money charged for seating, parking, T.V., and the mutual handle is all Breeders Cup.

Churchill Downs, Arlington and your other tracks wanted some of the gravy.
