How can "the worldwide leader" be the home of the Breeders' Cup and not televise a single f'n race on Saturday?!?! They shut down the network for the closing of Yankee Stadium and consistently put on the WNBA, yet, they can't find space for Curlin going for the earnings record or one of the other 13+ graded races on TV!

i just saw that... amazing! out of curiosity, I checked the ESPN family of networks programming for Saturday, and instead of showing racing on, say ESPN Classic, they're showing re-runs of car shows from LA and NYC... One would think that they could show LIVE racing from LA and NYC, but no...

I think that would require something called work and who wants to do that now a days. Honestly they really dont have to send people or trucks out there. I think we would be satisifed with an inturuption from the car show to show a live race and maybe a little commentary from the studio like they do with boxing. Who really wants to struggle through another Hank Goldberg commentary anyways.

that makes way too much sense for the folks at ESPN... maybe they could have Lou Holtz give a pep talk to Curlin.
