Went to the 1994 and 1998 Breeders Cups at Churchill and I remember the weather was pretty nice. I am sure that the seats I bought back then have gone up in price at least fivefold. I still wish I would have cashed in on One Dreamer in the 1994 Distaff. I remember darkness setting in quickly as Concern won the 1994 Classic and Awesome Again won the 1998 Classic (with the wild ride on Swain). Mindy McCready (Roger Clemens' girlfriend) was still in the limelight and sang the National Anthem at the 1998 BC.
Since I work within minutes of Churchill Downs, I couldn't be happier to have the BC return there. With Bobby Petrino gone, there is not much going on in October locally sportswise to compete against the BC.
