The only way you can make the Breeders Cup a successful television event is to have it at two tracks with staggered post times so that a race is going off every 15 minutes (like the Sunshine Millions). Owners, trainers, and jockeys will all fight this so it will never happen. Even when I get people to watch horse racing and they start to get interested, as soon as they see it is another half hour to the next race they go find something else to do. If you have a race going off every 15 minutes they may actually stick around and watch. With the current structure it is never going to draw new fans as it makes for a terrible televised event.
