Saturday's Belmont drew on ABC drew a 5.0 overnight, up 43% from 2007 and 32% in 2006 — but down 47% from last year when the race had a Triple Crown candidate.

From 5 to 7 it was the same babble we heard from noon til 5. Would it have been too much to ask to show stretch run of each horse's previous race? Would have taken 5 minutes.

What I don't get is that no other racing is shown. How the hell can you keep a casual viewer's attention with 2 1/2 minutes of action in 2 hours?

Regarding the Manhattan, I wasn't paying attention and by the time I went to Youbet on my PC to wager the gate had already opened. Then I switched to TVG. It actually was a good thing. I liked Cosmonaut but was shut out.
