They should use a point system for graded stakes

GI 30 pts total 1st 18 2nd 6 3rd-4th 3
GII 20 pts total 1st 12 2nd 4 3rd-4th 2
GIII 10 pts total 1st 6 2nd 2 3rd-4th 1

Make the graded preps meaningful and maybe with such a defined path the networks may get interested. Maybe switch the schedule so every 2 weeks we have 3 races on a sat, spread out over an hour so the networks have a defined block of content. They can focus on the back stories and show the races. The ultimate reality show. Now being horseplayers I expect a hundred responses why this won't work.
