I don't know how exactly how large a role she will have during the broadcast, but, on racing's "2nd biggest day", this ain't the time to debut live rookie talent (talent being the industry descriptive term) in a spotlight role.

If you aren't familiar with Ms. Taylor's story/background a quick Google query will lay it out.
Isn't "her story" basically another reporter's jealousy of her? What does "caving to social justice" have to do with any of it? Yes, young, attractive people get hosting jobs on TV. Shocking stuff.

Taylor works for NBC as a host and they have the broadcast rights. Sure, Tom Hammond was great but he's 77 and retired. Ahmed Fareed, Mike Tirico and Bob Costas were other recent hosts. I don't recall any of them growing up mucking stalls.
