The Ladies Classic! Is that some sort of joke?

Question

I find it ridiculous that the Breeder's Cup would rename a classic race like the Distaff to the Ladies Classic. what are your thoughts. And while I'm at it, why would they make the Friday card all filly and Mare races ? Maybe they should have just eliminated all Filly and Mare races, so they would not have to be bothered with the "girls".

Answer 1

Yess it is ridiculous to make difference between men and women. If we don’t stop doing that women will always be oppressed by society!

Answer 2

I am guessing that since they have added so many more races to the Breeders Cup,they are just trying to find a way to organize things.I don't think they are being disrespectful to the mares and fillies.There are so many good ( Girls ) out there that are amazing!! I really think that they are just trying to organize.

Answer 3

Dunno mate, we have the Derby & Oaks, plus ladies day at Royal Ascot. But that's for humans well they think they are.
