TV Coverage

[Merlinsky]

Tell me there's something else on tv for the Preakness other than the 4:30pm start time for the NBC programming. I saw the cross promotion of including it on the Today Show by stumbling upon it on my digital schedule thingy but who knows how much and when it'll be on that. I'm confused though. No programs on ESPN's schedule? (ETA: All I've seen thus far is some SportsCentury programs on 3 TC winners. Seriously? You get more viewers from some billiards thing than Breakfast at Pimlico? Grrr. I used to get to make a whole day out of this, the under card may not be huge but geez, Preakness segments anybody? Kenny Mayne? No?)

I see NADA....Bull riding at 12 pm on ESPN classic.

What a shame, I also use to love the morning shows for the triple crown. I guess all we have is Steve's replay shows.

There isn't much to talk about except Rachel Alexandra.

If she gets ganged up on or hurt... We are in trouble.

They might as well let her take a three length lead and walk in.

You are soooo right about that.
Funny with Japan on tonite and VODKA running yet again in the Victoria mile..there is so much hype about the fillies going up against the boys here and yet it is done all the time outside the US.

Yes, the tv coverage is seriously lacking this time, guess they figure no triple crown..glad I have both HRTV and TVG.

Amen to that

The whole undercard is on Espn 360 as well as other races from HRTV.
