The reaction of the general public, horseplayers, press, PETA protesters et al should Asmussen have a good day

who the hell is johnny weir?

what boycott?

i hope peta gets no coverage.

last few years i've dvr'd the race, and then speed thru all the fluff (which i assume this year is tara lipinski?-and here i was cheering michelle beadle not being on, i was hoping for jeanine edwards!) to the post parade and the race.
the rest of it is mostly garbage.
i'd rather they gave detailed info on the horses then the bs human interest stories. who watches the derby for the people? it's a horse race!
