tt,
If there is a belated switch, I hope Belmont will be the beneficiary of the Breeders' Cup braintrust. As the idea of lumping all races for females on a single day is obviously an attempt to attract women to racing (A brainstorm lifted from Capital Offense's playbook?
), it would be interesting to see if New York were indeed fertile ground for this approach without an accompanying fur coat giveaway.
I'd like to hear Grits' opinion on whether this is actually insulting to women since those races are being relegated to the lesser of the two days.
Seems to me that re-grouping races based on surface would make more sense, especially from a handicapping standpoint.
I support the suggestion somewhere that carding all the BC races for Juveniles together on a Saturday subsequent to the Classic in order to showcase next year's potential champions and thus stifle the sadness of any newly-crowned HOY's sacrifice of superstardom to service on "Shed Row."
What a potentially perfect primetime Pick Four that would present!
