Ugh......I do not like the TV Crew for the Belmont Stakes............

Of course it’s on Fox. Ugh..... and I know lots here hate horse racing. I’ve always loved the horses....grays especially. But fox covering it is horrible. But I want Golden Tempo to win it, and his trainer will be the first women EVER to win the Kentucky Derby AND the Belmont Stakes.

When they waaaay over big on the NFL we all were like - it’s not really a network. Murdoch used the NFL to promote shows on the network.

I don’t know if or that the actual TV network is separate from their “news” but their news dominates ratings.
