Schanzer to be first woman to produce Kentucky Derby on TV

Lindsay Schanzer is the new senior producer for NBC Sports’ Derby coverage. It's her 10th Derby but her first time producing it. She also produced the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. She was in charge of the Derby last year when the winner Medina Spirit tested positive for a substance. The challenge is catering to the casual fan and the hardcore bettor at the same time. Schanszer wants to strike that balance. "It's important to me to do our best to reach all viewers"   . For more information, visit NBCSports.com.
