I was able to watch pretty much the entire day....(after I avoided a little emergency at the office)
ESPN was okay....basically what they do is run 2 hours worth of material twice....they have the early crew go until like 2 or so and then Kenny Mayne (who picked Curlin) come in and the discussion is a little different, but the pieces are the same...Jeanine Edwards is a top shelf interviewer...as good as I've ever seen.....the best part of the telecast was that Bailey wasn't there....
NBC was typcial NBC.....I thought the best piece they did was Costas did a little live impromptu interview with Pletcher on a bench near the horsepath...Gary Stevens is so much better than Jerry Bailey and it's always good to hear what he has to say...
