Talk:Breeders' Cup

Untitled[edit]

Message to whoever redirected the names of some of the Breeders' Cup races: IMHO, they should be changed back to their unsponsored names (e.g., "Breeders' Cup Juvenile"), with the sponsored names as redirects. The sponsored names can change over time. — Dale Arnett 07:24, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Update: As it turned out, they weren't redirects. Someone apparently copied the info in the unsponsored articles and created the sponsored ones, without creating a redirect. Just redirected the sponsored names to unsponsored ones. — Dale Arnett 07:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency

This page uses Breeders, Breeder's, and Breeders' -- the usage should be made consistent. Without knowing a lot about the topic, I think Breeders' is probably correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.35.138.173 (talk) 17:40, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The distance for the Filly & Mare Turf is listed as 1 3/8 miles, which is not strictly correct. The preferred distance has always been 1 1/4 miles. This is easy to determine, since Belmont Park regularly conducts turf racing at both distances (in fact the 1 3/8 mile American record was set there by With Approval in 1990), but when Belmont hosted the BC in 2001 and 2005, the F&M Turf was contested at 1 1/4 miles both times. I will correct the distance to 1 1/4 miles. 21:46, 12 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.173.49.45 (talk)

Total purse[edit]

Re 3rd paragraph where we talk about total prize money: For the life of me, I don't understand where the Breeders' Cup gets its total purse number from, unless they've forgotten that they no longer run the Marathon and Juvenile sprint. Add up the current 13 races and, with the 2016 purse increases, you get 26.5 million, not 28 million. The same discrepancy existed before the purse increase, when the purses totaled 24.5 million and their literature said 26 million. The travel allowances come out of the purse, so that's not it. Maybe the foal and stallion nomination awards???? Things like this bug me! Jlvsclrk (talk) 09:00, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I wonder if they count the entire card, not just the BC-labeled races... if you add in the 3-4 races that aren't designated as BC, does that match up? Montanabw ^(talk) 04:29, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
