NBC

NBC really did an excellent job of covering the Kentucky Derby this year in my opinion. I agree that the Kentucky Derby call was hindered by the background call competing with it - however I have to say that this was a wonderful presentation of the greatest sport on earth!

I wish they had not shown the horses that broke down during Rosies segment - I really hope they only showed it because the horses survived - if not it would be very wrong as the last thing our sport needs is another Eight Belles or Barbaro incident. That said I am glad that they didn't really linger on the injury of Arch Arch Arch! I am praying he is okay. I am sure we all are.

NBC looks to have a bright future covering the triple crown. I look forward to their presentation at Pimlico! It should be awesome!
