Marathon not part of ESPN’s Breeders’ Cup coverage

[Merlinsky]

Just thought to check ABC to see if anything could run into their BC coverage. Good news: no. However I saw what they're opting to show instead of the BC Marathon. The movie Sweet Home Alabama. That thing is on tv periodically. Not sure why they slotted it in rather than show the entirety of a live event. Make all the cracks you want about whether the race is worth paying attention to or running. They could at least muster up some first run programming to air instead.
