As expected, NBC delivers cold pizza.
We would be better off if main stream TV ignored us and allowed those who support the game 365 days a year cover it all.

Nothing NBC brought to the table was worth watching.
Too bad CD has no respect for the racing fans and only sees the $$$.

CD is a public company by definition they are mandated to do what is best for shareholders. I agree their broadcast is frivolous.

That applies to all public companies.
The idea though, is not to just completely diss your customers.

Ratings were down this year I heard?
So if that is true, should heads roll?

Probably no head rolling because the numbers really were not that bad. H2H with NBA play-offs, pretty decent weekend weather for most of the country (for a change), and crappy or forcasted to be crappy at the track. Bloodhorse breaks down the numbers
