I never love when networks put people on racing who don't know racing, but actually, from the network's perspective, the Breeders' Cup is an utterly unimportant event that gets lousy ratings, so why not use it to give Taylor- who they paid a lot of money to lure from ESPN- more work?
We all have to understand that outside of the Derby, and the Belmont when Baffert has doped a horse correctly and the TC is on the line, our sport is totally unimportant to network TV. They can do whatever they want to us, and we have to play ball because we need them and they don't need us.
