is this why TVG and HRTV aren't showing the races.. so ESPN can
"lets bring in the XFL cam"

one second you're looking at the pan view, then a quick cut to the view from space, then they are heading right at you, next the moving truck shot for about 3 seconds. makes your head spin. they have the right ingredients but they need a director that knows how to watch races. they should have one live race structure, and then a different one for replays.

I'm hoping they show Big Brown bucking in the stall during the far turn of the 3rd. Maybe show P. Diddy posing like a douchebag at the sixteenth pole.

Who the heck is directing the ESPN coverage?
Race 2 from Belmont had 17 "Takes"(changes of cameras) for the race. 13 of them were before they turned for home.

When Durkin screams that a horse checked into the turn you never saw it.

Morons found a way to ruin the coverage.

Move over, I am puking too.
