3. The media will have fun with it, a week later, and no one but us players will be talking about it......maybe not even then

It's bordering on preposterous..

1) Will Johnny we wearing a Fancy Hat?
2) Maybe we can get the 2 gentleman from Fashion Queens to comment on Fashion?
3) Is there an opportunity to bring Tonya Harding into the mix?
4) I have never seen a horse on ice skate maybe that is worth a shot?
5) Why is it that NBC need pander to the trivial once a year viewer?

i don't even know how this panders to the once a year viewer...i think they have successfully eliminated about every audience there can potentially be for the race

I really wish they'd spend most of their time giving background on the runners, show their earlier races, sire/dam etc.


Instead of acting like its just a big get together/entertainment tonite or Oscar type show that happens to include a couple minutes covering a race...

... because those numbers are in the millions so, from a business standpoint, of course that's going to be the target audience.

None of us need them... they won't give us any useful information. You know this, Freddy.
