Default ESPN's "Coverage" AKA Wrestling / Zenyatta fetish

If I saw the replay of the Calvin Borel incident one more time I might have thrown my remote thru the window. Not too mention I have had enough coverage of Z, their are some damn good horses shes facing and I saw little to no coverage of any all evening.

Prelude tomorrows coverage, great.

FYI - I hope eveyone has a great, great day at the windows and beyond!

I think it is really sad they are making a mockery of the sport by showing the Calvin/Javy incident over and over again. Martin Garcia on the other hand, he was the guy who almost fell down and got ran over, yet he handled himself with class and a calm demeanor.

He had to run back to the jocks room after browning his pants when 2ft from the ground.

It was a huge story.
I'm not going to argue, they beat it to death, but I'm guessing that they were trying to get non-racing people who tuned in and saw what happened to watch longer thinking maybe something else would occur from that situation.

I really loathe all the crazy camera angles, you are trying to pick up horses making moves and then they give you this pan shot and you lose all account what's happening. It's looks like a big video game.
