i was going to say the same thing. post time is too early anyway and the race does not go off until late in the day. start at noon. the sport needs help and exposure would help. i just don't know how much changing the derby time would do though. its the derby after all and anyone that cares already knows about it. the friday night breeders cup deal would help more i think. most casual fans don't even pay attention to friday. the derby is "tradition", this friday breeders cup deal goes relatively unknown and uncovered.
