Overall, this year's coverage was better than in year's past. My wife follows horse racing a little and always watches on the "big days". Her assessment:
1) Laffitt Pincay Jr. was a good addition. She likes his demeanor and analysis.
2) She thought there was a good balance of the background stories of the the Derby contenders and coverage of all the other races. Not too much of one or the other.
3) She was really interested in Gary Steven's post race analysis. She got to see different views of the race and learned some stuff.
All in all, she gave it a big thumbs up. As a matter of fact, she even sat down and watched the post-race report on VS before the Preds game. This was the most interest I've seen her show from beginning to end on Derby Day in....well, ever.
