I'd move it up more to get more people involved earlier in the card. When Goldlikova runs, people are going to pay attention.

I think they should run the races in alphabetical order.


$5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic (gr. I)
$1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (gr. I)
$2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I)
$1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (gr. IIT)
$500,000 Breeders’ Cup Marathon (gr. II)
$2 million TVG Breeders’ Cup Mile (gr. IT)
$1.5 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint (gr. I)
$3 million Breeders’ Cup Turf (gr. IT)
$1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (gr. IT)

This makes way more sense to me and is much more attractive to both casual fans and serious bettors.

Hopefully the Pk-3 with ALL/Goldikova/Uncle Mo/ will pay what the similar combo paid last year, though that is unlikely. I think it was an $80 horse followed those two last year. My dad had it.

I like the Goldi/Furthest Land/Conduit P3 from 2009 that paid $1050 for a $1... just find that bomb that goes with the two at odds-on...

It only paid $190 but still decent given the two odds on.

The Juvy does not feel like a deep spread race.

For me it might be one of the more chalky races of the 2 days. If its not one of the big 2, it feels like its going to be Alpha or Drill. I cant see either of them being over 8-1.

Moving the Mile is partly about Goldikova and partly about Euro participation. Over the last 10-15 years the leaders of the 12f category in Europe have simply not come to the BC. The milers however have continued to show up at the highest levels. The Mile has been for many years a better race.

If only they could space the races even further apart.

I don't think so either, that was the bet it took to get Dakota Phone home. Not this years version of the PK-3.

That Dakota Phone race had chaos written all over it going in. Morning Line was the morning line chalk going in, and his second was really his break out performance.
As for this years Juvy it feels like 4 horses would all have to run really bad for anyone else to get the $.
