I just want them to get rid of the blimp camera during the live race. I don't understand how even the casual fan could enjoy such a view. People like to see where their horses are.

Wait, so lemme get this straight, they'll cut into college football coverage on NBCSN, air the Juvenile Fillies, then go back to what they were doing? Any meaningful anything besides the race itself gonna happen there? How much analysis and post-race coverage are we gonna get? They have two days to get these races on tv in legitimate fashion and we get a slot between commercial breaks on cable for a race that truly special fillies have come out of? Surely of all the races to put in this position, they could've figured out a different way of scheduling so that it wasn't the Juvenile Fillies. "Live bonus coverage" is code for 'we're pre-empting the beginning of BC day on Saturday but will do you a solid and at least air that first race.'

I'm sure they'll argue it'll get eyeballs for the race that wouldn't otherwise be there, but anybody there for Notre Dame-Navy is gonna use this as an opportunity to get another beer and gripe that the horse racing is interfering with their football.

Say what you want about Hank and his on-air presence, but he bets.. and not just for the cameras. He may never have been an ideal choice for the TV role, but is an exceedingly nice and savvy guy and undeserving of the derision directed at him.

which is why i was talking about on air presence. i'm sure those people are all wonderful. doesn't mean i want to see them on tv.
and of course not everyone is able to know all these people personally-i certainly meant nothing personal by my comments. i think the term 'derision' is a bit strong.
