Default Where Can You watch Undercard Races?

They're not showing them on TVG. I thought they were supposed to be on NBCSN, but NBCSN did not show the previous race. Where can you watch these races?

Not sure about the rest of the undercard, but NBC Sports is showing race 5 now. Of course it features McCraken so that might have something to do with it.

Race 4 was a sh!tshow as far as coverage. Can’t believe it wasn’t covered anywhere. Always love the “as live racing goes on behind us” garbage on NBC.

I literally said "wtf" when they said that. What a joke

Not sure what happened Saturday, but the fact that you couldn't find races on TV during Oaks day is a disgrace. Once again the bettors take it in the shorts.

fridays races were on adws til 12 pm,, then shown on nbc sports 12 -2:30 only when a soccer match took over til 4:30, then back to cd races to 7 pm

They said to go to nbc sports.com to get streaming yhe races. I did that and had to click on what cable provider i had, did that and didnot have my cable acct # and coulnot get on,chatted with tch guy on nbcsports and couldnot get it as they didnot have me for cable only internet they said as i told them i was watching it etc. They sure made it difficult and i was rolling p3s and wanted to see the races involved. sheesh !!

As expected, NBC delivers cold pizza.
We would be better off if main stream TV ignored us and allowed those who support the game 365 days a year cover it all.

Nothing NBC brought to the table was worth watching.
Too bad CD has no respect for the racing fans and only sees the $$$.

CD is a public company by definition they are mandated to do what is best for shareholders. I agree their broadcast is frivolous.

That applies to all public companies.
The idea though, is not to just completely diss your customers.

Ratings were down this year I heard?
So if that is true, should heads roll?

Probably no head rolling because the numbers really were not that bad. H2H with NBA play-offs, pretty decent weekend weather for most of the country (for a change), and crappy or forcasted to be crappy at the track. Bloodhorse breaks down the numbers
