you can add wacky racing surfaces and ESPN with they're "sh*ty" coverage of thoroughbred racing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so pissed, that I watch the replays on Capital OTB instead......

Capital OTB coverage RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're up to E-Posse's house. Kind of hammered, but how many races were actually shown live? Kept watching on OTB channel. Had a good day!

ESPN has ALWAYS dropped the ball covering the horses. It just isn't important enough to them. I have complained MANY times in the past 5 years. I thought that they have been getting better however they HAD to televise the end of S/W Missouri State and Murray State???? Come on! Although did anyone else notice Murray State Racers logo? It's a horse and jockey centered in the "M".
