There's been plenty written about the prospect of racing getting some of the big events on in prime time like most of the major sports...

Actually, this would be a great example of when to say never.

If the tv network wanted to come up with primetime money for the Derby then why not? Otherwise why bother?

Considering what's going on in the sports marketplace that time of year I think the Derby at night is a terrific idea.
I also imagine the BC is tinkering with the idea of moving some of Friday's races into primetime provided the 2 day format stays. What the hell, ratings couldn't be any worse for the BC, unless it's moved to Versus. NT

Throw the Oaks in primetime Friday and see what happens. Sure would make for a really fun night in Louisville- though it's already one of the best weekends of the year.

Saturday night is a dead night for TV.
But in this case, what is 'night' ? 10pm? 8pm? Or just extending the daytime hours to catch a better time say... 7:45pm?
