Who at NBC decided to hammer "Change the TC spacing!" this year?

[Merlinsky]

We've got 2 TC winners in the last 5 years. We don't need to move anything. Instead we gotta listen to Randy and Jerry act like it makes tons of sense to give horses more time between races, etc. Literally nobody on their little Zoom roundtable going 'that's dumb, don't do that.' You have races to run in if you can't do the typical spread. You're not forced to run in the TC or in all the races. "Actually it makes it harder to give more time"...no it doesn't. Stop it.
