Who Thought This Up?
This sounds like a terrible idea — a terrible, weird idea: “Also a part of the program is the ‘Ultimate Breeders’ Cup Classic,’ a hypothetical race between the 19 winners of the Breeders’ Cup Classic (there are only 19 different winners because Tiznow won both the 2000 and 2001 renewals). This segment will include a morning line set by Mike Battaglia, a full video post parade, a race call by Tom Durkin and carefully edited film and video footage that will realistically simulate an actual mile-and-one-quarter race. The winner was selected via secret ballot by a panel of veteran horseracing writers and broadcasters.” (Blood-Horse)
