I think this has to do with Disney owning ABC and the race was sponsored by a whiskey company. I think this has happened before.

They showed the Turf Classic on Derby day, I think that's still sponsored by Woodford Reserve.

More important than the whole "song debacle" is the fact that these networks do not do a good enough job of showing the other stake races on these days. I believe, and I am sure many others here and elsewhere, that this would do wonders to help and promote the game.

Instead we have to listen to a few bad minutes of karaoke to an overplayed hip hop anthem...
