BC shuffles lineup

[DelKev]

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.

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.

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 am surprised that no one has brought up the #'s and those damn purple saddle cloths.....you want to change something and be progressive and radical!

#1 RED
#2 WHITE
#3 BlUE
#4 YELLOW
#5 GREEN........etc etc etc!

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.
