It was only the 4th Breeders' Cup - so it hadn't really gotten "locked in" to a routine - but that was 11 days later then the previous time it had been at Hollywood Park (for the first one). Was there something else scheduled to go on in the sporting world that caused the date to be pushed back that far this one time? It was back to Nov 5th the following year.
