There was just something about the way ABC did their coverage of the Triple Crown. I like NBC but ABC just gave you that feeling like it was a Heavyweight Championship bout. They knew how to get you on the edge of your seat. Jim McKay, Howard, and even Al Michaels. Maybe it was because they all were big horse fans and were just as excited as the regular fans were. ABC promoted the sport back then so much better.

Again I like NBC's coverage but ABC just had that MoJo when it came to covering the big racing events.
