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!

I also thought he overall show was OK which makes it even worse.

the stories are fine but we tuned in to watch the race and they blew it. (again) i still have last years race on my DVR and you can hear johnson over durkin. with todays technology you would think they could get this right.
