I was going back and forth all day between ESPN and TVG. I thought my timing was just off and that was why I kept missing the post parades.

So they actually didn't show the post parades? That is unbelievable. That is crazy. What in the world were they thinking? I think the post parade is standard coverage for any horseracing telecast. To not show the post parade is indefensible.
