I thought it was a bit strange. Was it strategic to show that the industry is taking care of things? I have to admit - I didn’t watch the segment.

I feel like I had to sit through it three times after that app feature I clicked on. I still think their Oaks lack of coverage on the app/website is related to the situation at Santa Anita somehow, or activists or something. It's just too coincidental to not have that up but then put the SA piece you plan on airing on tv later.

Nah if Joe Drape ran NBC, it'd be all about alleged doping. That's his pre-TC go to.

I did think their coverage of the interference was well done. It really let you go from the natural position of most fans who didn't see the problem to working it out and eventually concluding what happened. Nice angles from behind and to the side. I will also say, no Tara and Johnny this time that I saw. That ought to please some folks. I don't mind them, but I know they really irk if you're not into the pageantry stuff.

Whoever runs NBC, they have no clue whatsoever.
