@KySportsRadio As it currently stands there is no value for owners/trainers to run right back. There is just as much $$$ waiting for other big races this summer at more prestigious and nicer venues. Move it back, add performance bonuses to attract horses to want to run in each leg.
Just imagine if the Breeders Cup was held at Churchill Downs every year. The quality of the racing, the handle and attendance would all skyrocket. Nobody handles big racing days like Churchill Downs and itโs easily accessible to 90 percent of the folks who participate.
@racing_dudes The Kentucky Derby is like the Super Bowl, Bonnaroo, Stagecoach, etc. itโs not about whoโs playing. Itโs just about attending the event. We need to improve the day to day product for those who help keep the lights on the other 51 weeks a year.
Another epic week closes and canโt wait until Kentucky Derby 153! Blackout Racing returns to action this week with Consequential and By La Rina Thursday.
@John_Fanta Breakfast at Wagners next door, hang out in the mornings on the backside, try a mint julep(itโs pre mix junk on site), wear pink on Friday, enjoy the great food in Louisville and pray for good weather. Itโs pretty tame these days but there used to be some wild times!
Take a listen to this weeks feature on Blackout Racing and Blackout bourbon on The Bourbon Show. Tells our interesting story and upcoming projects.
