Try USA Network for Oaks Day coverage. That's what we have locally.

I tried NBCSN which is NBC sports network

Real Quiet has kindly allowed us to include the Oaks/Derby Double in our ROI wagers. Other than that, I can't recall ever playing the Oaks card as a contest. The only time we do a two day contest is for the BC races.

Don't know about you, but I suspect that I'll be burned out after plowing through just the card for Derby Day. Our hardworking scorers will probably be also.

Yes, we always allow Oaks-Derby Double for ROI as one of your four wagers and no we do not add Oaks day to our Points contest. Definitely too much catnip Ruffian.

Yeah, it's a long day not just handicapping but scoring. But it's all good and fun. I used to have tickets every year for Oaks day and would arrive at Churchill before the first race. By the end of the day I was exhausted. Would spend Derby day at Keeneland for their wonderful buffet and it was a lot of fun. Have to admit, again, was exhausted by the end of the day.

I think what makes it so bad is how they extend the time between races later in the cards. Just keep it at 30 min. But I know they extend the time to bring in more betting money. Still, ugh.

Also, as is tradition, a KY Derby glass will be awarded to the Points Contest and ROI winners.
