Back to back BC's at Santa Anita on that goofy surface out there. The addition of several useless races to water down the card. The two day gender themed format.

It's as though they wanted to do everything in their power to sabotage the Breeders Cup and turn the greatest day in racing into a barely watchable joke.
triple the nomination. i agree with all of this. barely watchable and not very bettable with the exception of the grass racing. they won't get enough revenue to pay SA again this year. people are getting fed up and it will only be worse this year! plus, in a way, i question if its good for racing. horses used to have to face each other numerous times to become champion. now its wait and avoid for that one day that might be run on a questionable surface. whether it rains, its on poly or dirt the surface will be an issue. one race over one track is just ridiculous. kill it and divide the money up to the other races so theres an actual season of competition. and please stop dissing NY! i think they are jealous because that as bad as things are nyra still has the best summer racing! whats their beef with NY?
