It's really very simple. If the ratings for horse racing were higher than hockey, horse racing would be on more than hockey. The network execs don't care which sport is which. It's about the bottom line. Period. Whichever one gets the most people to watch, whichever they can charge advertisers more on, that's what will be on. Simple.
