NBC had no comment regarding this week’s developments, but concerning broadcasting the Preakness and Belmont, NBC Sports spokesman Adam Freifeld said February 4, “NBC is always interested in great properties.”
Part of any negotiation involving the Preakness on May 21 could be the broadcast of the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (G2) on the preceding day at Pimlico Race Course. New for this year at Frank Stronach-owned tracks is a $5.5-million bonus tying races for three-year-olds with the Preakness and a $2.2-million bonus for three-year-old fillies and the Black-Eyed Susan.
