They are just setting the stage for the Breeders Cup viewership. She wins the Lady Secret and more people come back to ESPN to watch her run in the Breeders Cup. For them its better than showing JCGC with virtual no-namers
ESPN and other TV channels do not cater to bettors as evident in thier camera angles during the race and side reporting of TV chefs
