Today we got the RCN feed for a few races and then they went blacked out at like 12 Noon. They stayed blacked out until 12:30 and there was a race in there. Then we get NBCSN and they act like we just woke up.

Since when is Jimmy Weir and Tara Lupinski the face of the Derby ? Don't get me wrong, but they don't have anything to do with horses or the Derby, except NBC sending them there.

And who was that weird guy with the funny suit and his hair all pushed up in the middle of his head? Should I know him ?

Regrettable coverage, good for the party crowd, horrible for the horseplayer.

I still have an open $2 Oaks/Woodford/Derby P3 on 4NJBETS (TVG) that was not paid out yet. I took a screen shot last night mailed it to them and call...they are looking into it

My handle significantly decreased because of my inability to watch races Friday and Saturday...i dont have unlimited data and watching a horse race on a cell or tablet screen is pathetic. My $68 tv package includes 2 racing channels..youd think that would be sufficient right? Nope

CD signal was blocked most of Friday and Saturgay as well even on RTN despite the big premium. Claimed it was an NBC obligation

Really tough to loose the track feed when you pay 50 bucks a month. I need more paddock view and less Costas

The Kentucky Derby sponsored by Banana Republic.

Compare coverage to big racing days in Britain, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, etc.

It's sad. #MAGA
