Breaking News! Breeders Cup goes Feminist!


Here is a photo taken by Vanessa Ng of Honey Ryder. Honey Ryder competed in the 2007 Breeders Cup and placed! What a good competitive girl.
Yesterday, the equine industry announced that the Breeders Cup was moving to a new format with this year's October 24-25th competition at Santa Anita Race Track. Friday would be an all-female championship schedule. And the cool Breeders Cup folk are not only going to honor fillies and mares with a special day of rich racing, they are going to schedule a series of festivities to promote women's health!
How cool is that? And right when I was feeling low about women's rights too. Also, as a last note, they are renaming the G1 Breeders Cup Distaff to the G1 Breeders Cup Ladies Classic.
Tsin-Tsin!
