Randy Moss criticizes NYRA and Fox over Preakness blame shifting

Randy Moss, NBC Sports horse racing analyst, has accused the New York Racing Association (NYRA) and Fox of acting 'incredibly petty' in their recent maneuvers regarding the Triple Crown. This followed the announcement of a new six-race championship series that excluded the Preakness Stakes, now rescheduled to take place three weeks after the Kentucky Derby. Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced the Preakness date adjustment in an effort to encourage more Derby contenders to participate. Moss suggested this sequence of announcements was intended to shift blame for the Triple Crown's devaluation onto the Preakness, rather than the NYRA. The situation continues to unfold amid discussions about the future of high-level horse racing.
