I thought Gary Stevens did a great job analyzing the Derby using the many replays about the trips of Animal Kingom, Archarcharch and Dialed In.
I still hate the multiple angles during the race. Save them for the replays.

Don't know what some people's issue with the call was, but I heard it just fine on NBC-HD.
As for those complaining NBC is pandering to the masses...of course they are and they should. And if you don't agree, well, you're wrong.

Not sure what you mean about the masses, though. Were we suppose to vote or something?

They really need to Mute the crowd noise during the race... Let the crowd noise in for the first 10 seconds or so and then mute it and let us hear the call. This is an ongoing issue with the derby. I can never hear the call no matter how high I put the volume and my hearing is just fine.

It was ok on my TV, I really would enjoy watching the race at the OTW with my friends but there you can't hear anything cause you have a couple hundred once a year fans screaming for a horse running next to last...I thought overall NBC did a good job (as did Versus with undercard), at least I can sit in my chair and watch the race without going deaf!

Overall, this year's coverage was better than in year's past. My wife follows horse racing a little and always watches on the "big days". Her assessment:
1) Laffitt Pincay Jr. was a good addition. She likes his demeanor and analysis. 2) She thought there was a good balance of the background stories of the the Derby contenders and coverage of all the other races. Not too much of one or the other. 3) She was really interested in Gary Steven's post race analysis. She got to see different views of the race and learned some stuff. All in all, she gave it a big thumbs up. As a matter of fact, she even sat down and watched the post-race report on VS before the Preds game. This was the most interest I've seen her show from beginning to end on Derby Day in....well, ever.

Versus literally showed every race from race 2 through 4:00 on Saturday. Can't complain with the coverage NBC is giving horse racing, particularly with the massive amount of advertising they're doing during the NHL playoffs, etc.

On the national front, however, overnight ratings for this year’s Derby broadcast on NBC-TV declined 7 percent compared with the 2010 show, according to NBC, despite aggressive promotional efforts by the network and its family of channels. The overnight rating for the race segment, from 6 p.m. Eastern to 7 p.m. Eastern, was a 9.7, with a 22 share, down from a 10.4 overnight rating last year. The overall rating for the three-hour broadcast was a 7.4, with a 17 share. Final ratings will be released Tuesday, NBC said.
