well that hammerin hank or whatever they call him, i've never seen him pick a winner. also they kept harping about the slow pace in the dixie. the turf was soft from inches of rain, of course the grass was slow. then they were baffled when a closer won (what idiots). then they go on and on about no horse being injured. like everytime the gate opens a horse breaks down or something. hype , hype and more hype. plus at least get someone that picks an occasional winning ticket, jeeeeeez! and both networks went on about big brown bouncing. he could of slowed down 7 lengths and still beat the plugs that were in there. it reminded me of bernardinis win in the travers, can you say no competition !

They should bring back the 12F race prior to the Belmont. That would be ideal race on way to BC Marathon.

ESPN, who broadcast the Belmont the last 2 years, showed the race prior. They're good about that.

Default Update

There are discussions going on to extend ESPN's coverage of Belmont Stakes Day to 6:00 PM ET and air the two stakes on one of those outlets, overlapping the first hour of ABC's coverage.

Let ESPN show the Belmont as well, with unique camera angles.

Comparing the Derby/Preakness is totally bogus because ESPN/ABC.. under the Disney umbrella... broadcast the Belmont, not NBC.
