I disagree. Like I said, NBC is doing its broadcast for casual fans, not for gamblers. Casual fans aren't obsessed with knowing where "their horse" is at all times, only gamblers are.. It was a great angle and one of the signature shots of the Derby. Now, if the CDSN feed cut to that angle on the first turn, then I'd understand the gripe.
