Best Newspaper to Get?
 

I know Derby coverage these days in newspapers, and the existence of newspapers in general, ain't what it used to be. I've collected papers of reporting on the Triple Crown races since I was a kid, hoping to have 3 papers for the next Triple Crown winner (as you can imagine, that's not been a success). I need some help figuring out how to best keep that tradition alive. Last year I thought I figured out the way to go for this year, but I completely forgot what I decided to do. I can't get a physical copy of things like DRF here.

What newspaper should I get? Ideally one with the good sense to put the Derby on the front page of the sports section, but overall volume and quality of coverage. You don't wanna know what one of them did last year. I don't know why Kobe going through a slump was front page news on this of all weekends.

Louisville Courier-Journal and Lexington Herald-Leader have the big Derby overwrap photo covers and best coverage.

I know it's not a newspaper but what about the Blood Horse magazine?

Sorry guys, I should've specified. It pretty much needs to be either the kind of paper that gets carried nationally or coverage that a local paper might just buy into a la AP. I'm not in KY. I've never tried to get a back copy of a paper like the Courier-Journal, but if they'd send it to me, I assume it'd be marked as such. I'm not beyond attempting that too, I'd just like to be able to get one from an actual newsstand first. It's a good idea to try though.

At some point I'll have to call it a day on things like this and go to a new tradition. I'm just trying to hold onto some childhood nostalgia. All it's served to do is frustrate me lately about national coverage of horse racing, but I haven't given up yet. By sheer force of will, I'll get 'em to properly cover this race.
