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.
I think a system similar to this could work. Let 2 year old Graded races be worth half as many points.
