Why would they show that race? There will be several big races that day far more interesting than a 1/20 favorite running against a few hopeless tomato cans.

They are just setting the stage for the Breeders Cup viewership. She wins the Lady Secret and more people come back to ESPN to watch her run in the Breeders Cup. For them its better than showing JCGC with virtual no-namers
ESPN and other TV channels do not cater to bettors as evident in thier camera angles during the race and side reporting of TV chefs

The coverage is from 6:00pm to 7:30pm EST on ESPN Classic, so presumably they are showing more races than just the Lady's Secret.

For those that get MSG Plus, they will be showing Belmont races (including the JCGP) from 5:00pm to 6:00pm EST.

My digital cable box thing says it's showing the Yellow Ribbon, Goodwood, Lady's Secret, and Norfolk. The bad news for me, we've had some issues with our box lately and I don't get ESPN Classic right now. So goody, I get all excited (well -ish) and then it's not on the more frequently watched ESPN proper. Maybe it's just me, but scheduling live events for a channel with the word "classic" in the title is jumping the gun a bit. Maybe ESPN Niche is more accurate for how they view the situation.

The good news, the ESPN main channel is supposed to break in to show the Lady's Secret. Of course calracing.com shows things on the live feed, so it's not like I won't get to see the rest. If the commentating on tv achieves new highs or lows, I respectfully request that someone inform me of it for the purpose of mocking or celebration as the situation demands.

you might want to check your programming. espn classic suddenly disappeared from my line up after years of having it. it was put in the nfl red zone package, so now i have it back. not sure if that is what's happening with you of course.

Thats what I thought- 6 races from Indiana to NY and they pick Zenyatta at 1/50 against 3 horses on the polycrap
and
like eajinabi said-the JCGC has a bunch of no namers(Blame,Rail Trip,Fly Down)
