The Derby is watched by the most people in a long time this year... how can that be a bad thing? I know I've posted about this before, but we as core horse racing fans and handicappers cannot look at the major horse racing broadcasts (even, to some extent, the Breeders' Cup) as extensions of a simulcast signal. Totally different audience. Which is why, in my opinion on a different topic, the funky camera angles are okay... most people we are trying to reach in those broadcasts likes them. The rest of the core horse racing fans are not going to not watch or quit the game because of a blimp view on the far turn.
