They should drop the BC Friday. What a bunch of greedy sob's. I'm surprised they didn't create a BC race for horses running backwards.

If they dropped Friday wouldn't that shut out a lot of the girls?

They could move a few of those to Sat and get rid of the filler races.Just a thought.

The undercard on Sat. is usually pretty darned good. I don't recall but how many girls' BC races are on Friday?

Horseracing, like the rest of life, is constantly evolving.

It could be the "Breeders Cup Meet". Like Ascot does.

I liked it when it was all on one day, don't get me wrong. But I don't want the girls who would otherwise run in girls' races to be shut out.

Couldn't possibly disagree any more with folks in here. Perhaps Shorty was right.

The more the merrier.

Matter of fact, if I was Obama, I would make the Breeders' Cup a week long event like they do in Australia with the Melbourne Cup.

Wednesday = Trotters and thoroughbreds trained by juicing trainers.

Thursday = Ladies' Day.

Friday = No Lasix Day

Saturday = Boys and Turf racing.

Sunday = Day of rest.
