If it happens, I'll see it. But Friday is a dumbass day to do it. Do you know of any other sport that puts a premier event on a Friday afternoon (that isn't a holiday)?

yeah, the breeders cup.

OK, what part of "Friday afternoon" confused you?

I don't mean to bust your chops (OK, I do), but it is kind of nice if people actually respond to what you write.

If you really wanted to (sort of) answer the question, you could have said rain-delayed golf and tennis tournaments and auto racing events, or the 18 hole playoff in the U.S. Open (golf)--but these are all contingencies, not scheduled. Only horse racing is so stupid.
