http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/ ... eeders-cup I was against it when NYRA changed a few years ago, but I have to say, colored saddle cloths was one of the better changes NYRA made in the last decade. It's about time BC finally walked into the modern age. |

I do not like it. Used to like reading the silk colors on the Program so I could follow my horse thru the binoculars. |

It's about time. Makes it so much easier to follow you horse. Especially now when callers either forget about the rest of the pack, or just plain screw up the call. |

Understand But not sure You Understand that the Breeders Cup originally used the Colored Saddleclothes Also . Their Reason to Change was to spotlight Corporate Advertising and Promotion with Jocks Wearing Silk Shorts and Advertisements . the Colors mean Easier to Spot but less focus on the promotion. The Sport overall needs sponsors and Promotion to stay Alive . I don't think at NYRA or BC it was because they were coming Late out of the Stone Age ? NYRA couldn't make a nickle and counts on Welfare or Slot Machines to Operate . The Breeders Cup makes Millions Annually by Promoting Horse Racing. Which Group is in the Stone Age ?? I'm Always For Business that Tries to Find Ways to Be Profitable . NYRA could learn a lot from The Breeders Cup Folks. I Know , I should Just Go with the We Are Better in NY and The Rest are Clueless Crowd , Just not my Nature. Good Luck today at Saratoga |

The Breeders' Cup had to tap into its cash reserves this year, sponsorship was dwindling, purse cuts are on the list of potential changes... I wouldn't toss NYRA under the bus using the BC, who is struggling right now. |
