I think it obvious that they did it this year so Indian Blessing could pull off the Distaff (or whatever it is called now) - Classic double.
They knew the only thing standing in her way was the fact that the races were on the same day.
Now she should have no problem winning both races easily.


I must admit, as a confirmed hater of the BC, I rather enjoy watching it implode in this manner.

once upon a time, i thought a two day festival (on saturday and sunday) would be pretty cool.

i have since changed my mind. now they just need to change it from the BC, and call it the BS-it would certainly be more fitting to call it what it has become.

what, are they offering bonuses to whomever can come up with the worst bc plan?!

Maybe the BC can aquire the Claiming Crown and run those races on Thursday since they are so intent on making this a festival.

In an industry that is trying to play to a younger audience such a move seems way old fashioned. Creating a Ladies Day? Gimme a break.
I also think it is annoying that they move these races to Friday. Like many horseracing fans, I have a job. Why not do Saturday and Sunday? Afraid to compete with the NFL? I would watch BC day over the NFL without hesitation.

A regular season NFL weekend over one of the best days in racing? As watered down as the BC is becoming it is still more compelling then the over-hyped, arrogance driven NFL. Only a Giants fan could be so hyped about the NFL at this time of year.

Even I van't argue this is a good idea.. Two days is just too weird for me.. I liked going both days and will enjoy it again in October but it does seem poorly thought out! The handle is going to explode but mostly because of quanity not quality.
