I don’t follow horse racing. Just noting that the Kentucky Derby , and a horse trying for the triple crown, is a major topic thst comes up.
So a lot of more casual racing fans, who watch the Kentucky Derby, and will watch the Preakness and Belmont, to see if someone can win the Triple Crown, will tune out the next two races.
Among other things, it hurts the TV ratings for these next two races.
I don’t follow horse racing either. I watch to see if a horse will win the Triple Crown and will not watch the others now that it will not happen.
I went back to becoming a casual auto racing fan. Just watch the big races like the Indy 500 and Daytona 500.
That's why this story got headlines. In looking out for the welfare of her horse, she's denying the greedy media weeks of stories about the triple crown.
Good for her
