Are you kidding. If it's not the "3 sports" they'll just show the best of bowling and poker. I guess we should be lucky they show a race every month or so on ESPN NEWS. No matter what you think of TVG or HRTV, at least they show the races.

Agreed. To ESPN horse racing might as well be curling.

It really is amazing. They just had the 1987 Greater Buffalo Bowing tournament on. Now that is followed by 7 hours of poker. Yes, 7 HOURS OF POKER. Less than a week away from the greatest 2 minutes in sports, and what do they show? Unbelievable. I guess to many people horse racing is not a sport.

I disagree. ESPN is big on cross promotion. They were hyping the Breeders Cup during football telecasts. It's not the top three but they do more promotion and references than NBC. Plus no Bob Costas is always good for the genuine aspect.
