after reading through this, i'm glad i was at CT and watching the Belmont feed.
i have a pretty good guess on what happen to the coverage when abc took over at 5pm.
my brother was a cameraman at Belmont today. i know he worked the espn coverage i think he was in the first turn.
he's told me how this works.
1-ALL the abc guys took over at 5pm. cameras and production truck. OR
2-espn guys stayed on the cameras and abc guys took over the production truck.
the production crews never do things the same way.
i made the statement once before. the guys on espn WANT to be there because they like horse racing.
the abc guys, like museberger are there because it's a "big" event. i think you can tell the difference between the two.
the "big" event guys take the job because they get to go for free and get paid well and only work 2 hrs IF that.
the espn guys that WANT to be there, do ALL the work from set up to break down. they try to put on a good show because they like racing.
