Default FOX Belmont broadcast

I couldn't hear or understand a damn thing Tom Durkin was saying. Anyone else have problems hearing the call?

Yeah the audio was horrible but they did a good job of getting the crowd noise. Watched about 20 minutes of the broadcast. I thought it was Cringe Worthy compared to NBC. Didn't feel that the host knew much about racing and his Subject matter experts really were lacking in personality.

I only watched for 10 minutes, so I have no opinion. They struggled with Maggie and Junior, which is always a tough spot to get right.

Arent we all watching FS1? Anyhow who cares what JQPublic is watching? They won't watch another race till BC if that

I watched some of the Fox coverage from 3 to post Belmont Stakes and
think they did a good job. Will never complain about having horse racing
broadcast nationally.
