Paul Moran sounds a perfectly toned response to the Breeders' Cup location quandry..

Breeders' Cup takes step toward failure

The Breeders' Cup by design is a moveable feast, intended by its founders to showcase the sport to a wide live audience. Before it was hijacked by those now at the helm, it was orchestrated as intended -- in Illinois, Texas, Canada, New Jersey and Florida as well as Kentucky, California and New York.
BINGO. That's how I would like to see it, making the rounds and not at the same track in consecutive years (even though it will allow me to be at the event for two consecutive years).

I had the opportunity to listen to Sanan this morning. He came across like a cheap used car salesman trying to sell the Breeder's Cup nonsense. I would love to hear why the Breeder's Cup would lose millions by coming to New York instead of just the general claim by a snake oil salesman.

The Moran article is spot on, very nice piece.
