BC shuffles lineup

[Linny]

Maybe Golden Man can win 2 BC races this year.

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.

bad news for the nfl.

just checked the lacrosse board and they're ready to take them on too.

Given all of the marketing efforts that the BC is supposedly tying to this new day, I suppose the next assinine decision they'll make is to have uniform pink saddlecloths on Friday.

oh, the humanity.

i would flip back and forth...or do split screen, with sound on football-who needs a race caller when you can tell who's doing what by watching the saddle towe........oh, hehe...maybe sound on the races.

I waste a couple of hours a day on a horse racing message board and yet even I would pick the NFL over the BC. That should tell you something.

I would have rather watched a pre-season Arena League game than some of the BC races from this past year.

I think I would rather watch two blind people play the old football video game 10-Yard Fight on a 12 inch, black-and-white television than watch the new Juvenile Filly Turf race.

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.

The BC is the most "over-hyped, arrogance driven" product in horse racing. It has completely gutted some of the finest races in the history of the game and helped contribute to the sparse appearances of the greatest athletes in the sport.

I could go on for hours about how horrible it is as a sporting event but I won't. The one thing they could do to improve the product is have a paddock reporter that doesn't look like a raccoon.

OUTSTANDING

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.
