My opinion post BC would be biased, so i will not post that.
However, pre Breeders cup it was the least excited i think i had ever been about a breeders cup. I get the impression that the breeders cup is losing fans year after year, no matter where it is staged. Why is this? price? is it becoming too 'intense'?

This is the first Breeders Cup that I ever missed. I wasn't at all excited about any of the racing prior to Breeders Cup day. In fact, I didn't watch any of the races on Breeders Cup day until Sunday morning. I wasn't all that excited in any of the horses competing and I am sure the weather would have pissed me off if I intended on wagering.
Next year might even be worse. Who knows what some of the horses running will do on a synthetic surface. Who knows what horses from Europe will come over to try the synthentic surface. It will be just a mess. For whatever the reason, I have not been excited about racing for a few months now. I try to get excited about racing, but the excitement isn't genuine.

I liked it. But the only "chill" of excitement I got was when they went into the gate for the Classic.
I think that, looking back, this has been a very good year for exciting racing, and some good performances at the BC. But, when it all ends at the BC (or before), with every horse you want to follow retiring .... I think you tend to back off from the excitement, knowing you're gonna get disappointed in the end by being a fan.
