NBC did it again (1174 Views)

Last year when Funny Cide wins by 9, NBC fails to show the exciting fight for the other positions and left all of the exotics bettors holding their breath until they decided to post the official results. Not even a replay, except to show Funny Cide all alone. This year was much the same, as we could barely see Lion Heart trying to hang on for the show. The chart shows 3rd, 4th and 5th (Edington, Lion Heart, and Imperialism) being separated by a total of two heads. And no idea of the actual finish until the official order was finished. And instead of Santos' kid this year, now we get to see Chapman being assisted down the escalator to go to the winner's circle. Why didn't they also follow him to the bathroom? Maybe someday they'll actually have someone who understands horseracing in the control room.
