Default They're showing a 35,000 claiming race on national TV ESPN2???!

Right now, they are showing a claiming race on ESPN2. Yet they never show that one race before the Preakness!!! The hypocrisy!!

They just showed Secretariat's Belmont, Street Sense's Derby, and Curlin's Preakness. Good for ESPN!! Generate the interest!
Are there any little league games scheduled for tomorrow?

nbc skipped the race before the preakness.

espn has always been good about showing races despite pretty horrible ratings.

and even if it were espn that skipped the race maybe instead of constant bitching you should be thankful it's on tv at all. they make buisness decisions about what they show. no one at espn is throwing money away just to give racing the high hat.
