Whether or not racing fans liked Top Chef, unfortunately, racing fans are the minority.

NBC is a smart, successful company... they wouldn't do those things if the data didn't support it.
Its all about the "Pageantry" Derby day and once its over its back to business. Screwing the bettor, to much racing, and slot driven purses in ridiculous locations for racing. OH and California!!!

The NBC Derby Pageant coverage is exactly what it should be without the swimsuits!
