NBC was fine, I wish they would have showed race 11 but, they were focusing on the preakness. I thought Gary Stevens did a great job, and Tom Durkin and all of em'.
Overall it was a blast to watch 6 hours of horse racing on national tv.

I totally agree here. To see that much racing-related coverage on ESPN is amazing, especially when they are not even airing the Preakness or the Derby.
The other day, I was discussing horse racing iwth a non-player, and he said something that shocked me. He said that he thought horse racing was making a comeback. I really hope that was true. I was really amazed at how many people ask me about the Derby, and how many of them talked about how "that horse cam back from 19h place". I knew that the move wasn't that unbelieveable, but to them it was a miracle, and if that is what we need, then so be it.
I was overall happy with the coverage of ESPN yesterday, although NBC wasn't that great....
