If a filly runs in the turf does she get to start on Friday Allan?

I still can't believe how unbelivably retarded it is to have gender days for the BC.

Massengill filly and mare sprint. I think it has a nice ring to it.

I've heard a rumor that the BC is going to have a dustpan giveaway on ladies day.

Any truth to that?

I think I'll show my support for the Breeders Cup Limited by not attending the Breeders Cup this year and I'll also pass on wagering on ALL of the races. I'll just pretend I live in the days when "seperate but equal" really meant something. This decision is to make it Femal Friday is completely absurd.

Putting marketing people in an industry that they have no knowledge about, especially knowledge about the 'base' of the industry, is the reason you get this.

Marketing people are creative, and they throw as much calculated **** as they can against the wall and see what sticks. I don't fault them for trying, I fault them for not educating themselves about the industry, I fault them for not surrounding themselves by all 'types' of people in the industry, and I fault them for making so many changes at once.

I almost think they are just listening to a single people within the industry, instead of talking ideas out with people and seeing potential and working it out.....
