Hey they had the sense to get a blurb from Steve Haskin for one of those rerun segments they did. Made my day right there.

Why is the only Belmont Stakes Video on ESPN , a condensed top of the stretch version?

ABC/ESPN ... Where are the high quality videos? Unique camera angles?? ANYTHING WORTH MY DOWNLOAD? The short stretch only view isn't even better than what youtube has up. kind of pathetic considering the technology at their fingertips.

Thankfully Youtube has some nice videos up from users. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mwG-zvPOlA

No doubt NBC did a much better job with their promotion of the first two jewels.

ABC/ESPN is too busy pushing the NBA playoffs.

Too bad because it was a hell of a race.
