The issue isnt that they are making a change away from Mike Battaglia, who I think most would agree is very average in what exactly he provides, but that the way they are going to provide color commentary on the race analysis is to hire a hockey guy who happens to own and bet on horses.

Essentially I am sure with the brass at NBC there is not much difference in the two expertise.

At least they didn't replace him with Ronan Farrow or the other hipster who is a Rachel Maddow look-a-like.

I am sure it was considered, we are talking about NBC and reaching their "core" audience.
