I understand most people don't like change, it was evident by the callers yesterday (it was frustrating to listen to Satish constantly being interupted while making a point). Satish calls it like it is and doesnt sugarcoat anything, which is greatly appreciated.

He doesn't mention stats, but there's a decent write up on bloodhorse.com today. The thing I appreciated being pointed out is that it's impossible for the Breeders' Cup organization to make money when the event is held at Churchill. It's easy to forget the tracks are hosting the event, and as such, have their own fiduciary interests, not those of the BC, in mind.
