WVA Derby preempted by Barry Bonds

Looks like a troll posted this. Taking advantage of us horse folks because we don't care or even know when or where he is.

It's not on...espnhd (ch 73 on Directv) was to have racing @4:00, it's still listed on my dvr scheduler, but no longer in the program guide.
When I checked this am T-bred was still showing on the guide for 4:00 on espn and espnHD.
However as of a few minutes ago program guide says WTA tennis. Racing doesn't show up on classic or anywhere. It's nascar racing or tennis and world's strongest man.
Yet the espn guide shows t-bred on classic. I'm aggravated and confused.
I didn't check though, maybe they moved it to ABC.
Let's all call them, anyone have a number, all I find is e-mail.
Whoops, just found this to ESPN insider...1-888-549-ESPN

The Mountaineer card is a day card today. The W. Va. Derby is scheduled for 5:43 e.s.t.

My TV Guide never shows it on the schedule for ESPN however we do get the TVG feed on Sports South for a couple hours and The Hambletonian is on NBC at 3:30.

I still despise Bonds so if it's okay I'll blame him for this and global warming while I'm at it.

I think there was also some confusion as to the time of the race. . . I think ESPN had their coverage scheduled from 4-5 but the race doesn't go off until 5:45. . .

Brisnet's web page gives the reason for the preemption as Bond's homerun persuit. ESPN's tv listings shows Hall of fame inductions. The fact remains the race should be shown.
