There is no excuse.

I cringed when I read however far back it was that NBC had secured the rights to the broadcast for X number of years, how ever many it was.

My friends who are not in to horse racing at all thought it was the most inane waste of time...

A beautiful thrilling and historic sport deserves better. I'll bet you one day, when NBC is done with it, some other network invests the time and resources and does it right.

This is just silly, pointless fluff and it is maddening to try to defend such a unique and riveting sport.

Sorry, makes me sick. I will not keep my mouth shut.



Right!
HERE, HERE - dog and pony shows do not shed light positively on the sport,but offer the lowest common denominator of catering .o the whims of the morons . This wouldnot have been a big deal as i normally mute it except for the races, BUT, TVG SUCKS. and had no video of te races,so i had to pay more attention to the tv.to seethe races i bet onand they fit in the other races amongst the fluff pieces without much builup , hEnce my negative expErience.
