Gotta be Walter Parker.

Please keep his screed out of here...nothing TG-related in it, and frankly, it\'s a stupid topic.

Probably Walter Parker.

Why is it a stupid topic??

- Super Bowl used to be played in the afternoon, now its in Prime Time.
- World Series used to be played in the afternoon, now its in Prime Time.
- NBA used to be tape delayed, Finals are shown in Prime Time
- As stated, Dubai World Cup is run under the lights.

Its stupid because.......you say it is??  And all topics discussed on this board are TG related??

Explain for us how this topic is stupid. He makes some decent points.

If you think Churchill spent that money to put up lights just for Friday night programs here and there...you\'re crazy.

This was always the plan....I remember talking to a few people in Louisville about it.

I think you\'ll see the entire Breeders Cup card go under lights first...and then the Derby.  

The TV ratings will be great...along with the handle...and Churchill will become permanant home for Breeders Cup.

Just my opinion.
