I guess it makes sense to someone

Okay I'm sitting here on Tuesday morning wondering why I'm not pouring over the official Breeders Cup pre-entries. The simple answer is because they havent been released yet but one has to wonder why. Pre-Entries were due Monday at 12 noon EST. Why then to BC officials feel that its necessary to hold them from the public until Wednesday? Are they simply unable to organize the list of horses that fast? Or are they trying to build suspense by witholding them until a grand unveiling can be staged?

I really hope it isnt the latter because there are so many leaks almost everyone knows who is pre-entered anyway. There will most likely be one or two surprises but the main body of the field is common knowledge and trainers are even open about revealing who they entered. Any suspense or illusion of mystery is basically gone. Why not just pass on the information?
