4/16 (OP): Arkansas Derby (G1), Northern Spur S., Instant Racing S.

[somerfrost]

Right now, I only see two horses that I could back to win the Derby running this weekend....The Factor and Archarcharch, I think Elite Alex remains a threat to finish in the money. Might (probably will) change my mind but that how it looks to me right now.

If I might give a heads up for the 10th race(an oc $50,000 n2x) Bluegrass Bull is 20-1 ml. He's beaten Swift Warrior on Calder turf, Master Dunker on Calder dirt, and come in 3rd at OP to Alternation and Dreaminofthewin as well as 3rd to Caleb's Posse and Dreaminofthewin

Stopped in his last race at 7-2

Seems like a live longshot

Is there any kind of online radio coverage of the Arkansas Derby? Horseracingradio.net seems determined to make my ears bleed with whatever horrible quasi-country music is playing. "I love little baby ducks"? What kind of lyric is that?

I gathered there's no free video feed. DRF's got nothing, no NTRA Live coverage. Oh well. On a side note, do you have to live in Brigadoon to have heard of NBC's Versus channel? Guess I don't get to see the Kentucky Oaks live this year. On the plus side, I don't have to look at the reality show "stars" on the red (pink?) carpet.

Try this:

I don't know how good it is but it's free live video.

It's saying it's not available right now. The feed is through twinspires.com right? My state doesn't allow online gambling. I assume that's why I can't see it (unless I'm just missing something). Thanks for trying to help, though.

I just tried it and it is working. You just have to scroll down to find Oaklawn underneath where it says tracks...it's toward the left of the video screen.

I did, but now the video screen's blank.
