I have always been against it, but the more I think about it, I would be all for it now. The best part for me personally, would actually be getting to watch/bet the rest of the undercard.
Who would be the ones to mandate such a change, the network covering the race? Also I wonder if that would change the landscape of some prep races. You would think that Hollywood would/could market a 3 year old prep under the lights. Maybe Mountaineer would consider moving the WV Derby as well. You would think that some trainers would want to get their horses a race under the lights. Who knows maybe networks will even devote air time to races since weekend programming seems to be a different animal all together.

It'll exist between pure prime time / evening... but I don't think we ever see it at 9pm or 10pm at night. I could be wrong... prime time US Open does well with ratings, but when gambling plays a role, who knows...

I think that if more folks would watch the Derby if it had a later start time, I'd be all for it.

if you want to reach a younger demographic i'm not sure saturday night prime time tv is the answer.
you're going up against csi, criminal minds, and america's most wanted so i'm sure you'll kick some ass. but there's a reason the simpson writers thought making grandpa a matlock fan would strike a chord. it's getting close to summer. it's a nice night out. let's stay home and watch tv. who does that?

I'm thinking they make a test run of it with the Oaks on ESPN and then push it on over to an 8pm Derby a few years later.
