Just saw it was coming on before hitting the hay. Yeah ESPN really supports racing. I'm turning in before i have to see Hammern' Hank before I go to sleep or I'll have nightmares. On another thought ESPN showed Ole Derby winner with his lower leg looking like silly puddy in the Preakness hats off to you F-ing ESPN Espy Basterds.

And they showed the breakdown on the backstretch of the Delaware Oaks, Gallant Secret.

I dont know why the feel the need to show that injury over and over. Everyone with any television access has already seen it, but nobody I know wants to see it.

I dont think any of us missed anything special. Looks as though as if it was as exciting to watch as a harness race.

Delaware Handicap or Ladies Golf...Hmmm, thats a tough one. Probably rather keep my TV turned off.

Please allow me to ask you a question? Since you like to bad mouth Delaware and you have since the ESPN board, have you ever been there? Do you know that it has one of the nicest paddocks and barn areas on the East Coast?

Realizing the race was a one horse affair, I could see the hesitiation in watching the race, but why always pick on other tracks? I realize you live in Saratoga, and even thogh it's undoubtedly the nicest, there are others with some redeeming qualities.
