Does the TV revenue have any impact on entire deal? Or is it miniscule compared to the other revenue streams?

If they’re going to keep it at SA for the 3rd straight year, let’s at least open up some more races
Arabians, let’s give something back to those full blown degenerates who play/handicap the last race at Delaware Park every day!!!! It didn’t always have to be at such a “high end” venue, people forget when it was at Woodbine, pre-slots, and Lone Star -bt-

As someone who has been to many Breeder's Cups, Santa Anita is far and away the best option. Great location, great weather, dirt track again, easy access from multiple airports and tons of hotel rooms nearby.
I, too, like the idea of moving around to new tracks. But, other than Gulfstream (which is no longer an option), what other site can give you all of the above? That said, for those upset now, I would bet that it moves the following year but stays in California and is held at Del Mar. Paul

Isn't Stronach spending $700 million or so to revamp GP with some sort of temp seating, build hotels and some other nonsense to get the BC to S. FL?

 i can see if the climate in ky and ny kept the bc committee from considering tracks there... but what about arlington, or a fla track, or back to texas? monmouth, woodbine? the whole point of the day(s) was to support breeders all over the country, which was why they wanted the change of venue every year. so much for that. but like so many other things any more, it's probably mainly about the bottom line now. not what's best for the sport, the horsemen, but what's best for the entity known as breeders cup and it's profit margin. it's no longer interested in continuing it's original mission, now it's just another business enterprise.

They always cite the weather, yet as pointed out, Churchill always brings the better numbers attendance and handle wise. While it was cold the last time Belmont hosted the BC, it is the last thing that sticks out in my mind since it was a tremendous experience all around.
