We gotta sit through this every year

Ha. That was me during Round 2 on the main telecast. Then we had to sit through Belinda Stronach being all 'we're open to it.' Hope Baltimore holds firm on this one. She was open to taking it to Laurel no doubt.

NBC obviously has a vested interest in this or they wouldn't keep hitting it and teeing it up for Belinda to comment when nobody is truly asking for it, certainly not after two TC winners. NBC obviously sees $$ in changing as does she. If NBC were really just examining the issue, they'd give an alternative view point from someone credible they aren't actively employing. CD needs to keep their yap shut on race spacing here. We know they're looking our #1 and nothing else.

PS. Let's not forget NBC loses the rights the Belmont after this year, but sure, they're really interested in protecting the quality of the thing they don't care enough about to keep the rights and show the end of.
