Can't really argue with you. But honestly, I don't think it would matter if it was covered on every major network. Mainstream America only watches/cares about the Derby, Preakness and if there is a TC on the line then they care about the Belmont.
I want to believe that the people that care about the Travers will have the means or find a way to watch/bet on the race. So while I agree that it's probably not good for racing (could always use more exposure), in the end all it's really not that big of a deal.
