I said this back when it went from NBC national to ESPN cable, that it was a bad thing for racing, many disagreed. It signaled how racing was slowing eroding away from the public.

Yes.. Racing, along with agrarian life, has left the mainstream. But the niche marketplace and programming demands of the networks find NBC & FOX televising more racing on TV than in years. That niche and programming isn't going away. NBC is devoting 8.5 hours to Cup. That's a major commitment. Recognize that the Cup itself created part of the issue of not being able to fit everything into the window provided. Moving one of Saturday's races to Friday could fix this glitch of the Fillies having to be shown on tape.
