Well it would be nice if Churchill does a better job with it than the inside paved highway they had last time....I think Belmont is a terrific venue for it as was SA before poly.

I vote for Ellis Park. It would be a good bargaining chip for Geary to get slot machines. He can threaten to shut down the track and not run the BC the day before if an emergency session isn't called that evening to put slots in all Kentucky race tracks.
Then the BC will call his bluff and he can look like a pompous child one more time. |

Heck lets give Florida Another shot, but Lets go to Tampa, I bet we could Squeeze 10,000 Plus in there. An as an added bonus everyone knows they Have one of the best dirt tracks around. I love going to Tampa on the weekends great place to go to the Races.

I have always liked the Breeders' Cup rotating amongst a lot of racetracks... for one, the game does not only happen in NY, KY or Cal. Secondly, there are lots of fair weather racetracks who could handle the BC. Finally, I think a big event grows best when introduced to a variety of markets.
People are sour about venues such as Monmouth all of the sudden because it rained... as if it would never rain somewhere else? I thought Monmouth was an awesome venue, and would love to go there again. |

I'm glad Monmouth is getting some love from the DT crowd. I grew up there, so I am biased, but it is a beautiful facility. They really did an awesome job with the BC but the rain was a real tragedy. I hope we get another shot someday. I was so fired up to be 5 minutes from the BC and then the rain came...

Monmouth is a great facility. I was at the 2007 BC and enjoyed it thoroughly (luckily my seats were in the grandstand) and was also at Lone Star in 2004. The "2nd tier" tracks need a look especially considering their seating capacity will not really matter once Avioli ruins the BC brand.

Monmouth got knocked by alot of pundits because the weather stunk. The weather can stink anyplace and anytime. They did a good job with what they had.
I like the idea of moving the Cup and letting people that support the tracks/circuits around the country see it at home.

how about the dumpster? it causes more contraversy and problems than its worth. the guy is an idiot and his board has ruined it anyway. they are going BROKE to boot. once its gone, horses will actually have to race each other more than once a year. now many times the good ones "run away" from each other for the easiest win at short odds, until the breeders cup. then half don't show because of the polycrap! yeah, thats doing racing all kinds of favors, less competition, lower payouts and a bunch of bettors that don't give a sh^t. way to go breeders cup!
