We gotta sit through this every year

[Merlinsky]

Back at it again. NBC hitting this one harder. Follow the money obviously.

NBC didn't lay into it this strongly before although Randy has expressed this thought. The difference is we've got two TC winners now. They're trying to act like there's this groundswell of pressure to change. There's not. Shame on NBC for acting like a propaganda arm for a position nobody's calling for (well, I gotta assume Belinda's not innocent here from how she piped up in that last interview and the past efforts to pull the Preakness to Laurel). Hopefully Baltimore and NYRA put an end to the nonsense but they need to get an earful from the folks NBC is refusing to give opposition time to.

Not sure this nonsense is unrelated to how NBC's been platforming the TC this year and letting the Belmont go but could always be a coincidence.
