Santa Anita gets 2008 Breeders Cup

[copying]

All this bitchin' and moanin' -- "I've lost interest", "I won't play!" -- come Fall of '08, all these whiners will be on here with their "2,8/4,11,5/4,7/all posts. When RM wins 5 races, Ateam will proclaim "that's horrible racing." When Funnycide wins, we'll hear, "see, glorified claimers out there!"

When it's all said and done, we'll see the usual headlines: Another record handle, so and so upsets, a spill, blah, blah, blah....

From what I've seen on this board, most are gamblers and will bet any horse, anywhere if they think money is to be made.

is it possible they would level the purses between the classic and the turf? the only real problems i've seen stated here are "i haven't figured out how to handicap this stuff" and "the turf horses will run for more money in the classic".

the first one is a personal problem. the second one is something someone needs to think through. i think if the new surface is as kind as hollypark there may be a preference for it among overseas shippers vs. the usual good (hard) conditions on sa grass.

it really is a different world now isn't it?

Nah, broski, I haven't bet a So. Cal. track since the summer, and don't intend to anytime soon. Thanks for singling me out, though.
