It was like horse racing 101 (from a buisness/possible owner standpoint). |

Racing needs all the media coverage it can get, especially programs like this. |
A whitewashed version of reality .

Sure it was a reach for CNBC ("The Business of Horse Racing" Really?), but I loved all the old racing footage. I enjoyed it.
|
It wasn't as terrible as it might have been, but one mement really made me laugh. When it described Big Brown coming up short in the Belmont Stakes, the narrator said, "horse racing fans everywhere were crushed."
Ummm....not really. A lot of horse racing fans were pretty pleased with that result, and the stupefied expression on Dutrow's face after the race was particularly enjoyable. |

I caught the part where Ivarone said that the Belmont cost BB a stud fee of $200k per session. Back to the NBA playoffs after that.
