Default Breeders Cup ESPN Commercial
It opens with....

"Jockey sensation Chantal Sutherland looks to ride Game on Dude to glory"


There were at least five guys at Presque Isle who are better jockeys. I didn't see that one coming as the lead story line for this years Breeders Cup....

They are really playing the female angle because right after they mention Chantal they bring up Havre de Grace.

They would have been better off saying, "want something to watch before LSU-Alabama? Every other college game sucks. Tune in to the Breeders' Cup."

Yep ... though -- you would think the female angle would be Goldikova first, Havre De Grace 2nd ... instead they make Chantal sound like she's Joel Rosario or Julian Leperoux or something... and lead with that.

Is finishing 7th now considered glorious?

Does it really matter? I doubt anyone but us regulars will have a scant interest in watching.

Honestly, I can't believe that they aren't playing the Borel/Castellano card at all. Obviously, the real fans know it's a non story, but then again the real fans know that Chantal sucks too. They would probably be able to draw more people in, with hopes of there being a fight in the winners circle again versus some angle about a female jock that no one outside of racing has probably ever heard of.

If this angle is going to be played up, will Game on Dude be a massive underlay, like Pants on Fire was in the Derby?
