I really wish I could see prep races on TV...

I don't disagree either. But, maybe (and I'm probably dreaming) if horses ran more and if the same stake race wasn't being run at 3 different tracks on the same day we might see some actual competitive racing. Competitive racing will help attract gamblers and fans.

I know when I first starting following, there were more races on TV and I looked forward to watching the ones that I couldn't see at OTB. Even now when a network carries the Derby, they don't show the Woodford Reserve beforehand. That would have been unheard of 15 years ago.
