Default Is anyone awake at the NTRA?
It looks like the Acorn and the Manhattan will not be shown on TV. I guess I can understand the Manahttan not being shown, but how hard would it be to coordinate posttimes with ESPN, NYRA and ABC to allow a TV audience to see the Acorn? Maybe the NTRA could step in and work something out.

Jesus!!!!!

Thanks, and I had that 10-1 shot in the first leg. Too bad Wait a While didn't fire. And I bailed on Teuflesberg one race too soon. Mayb 4 fo 6 will pay something.

No chance.

Default ABC
There's a "contact us" form if you go to abcsports.com. here's the comment I left them.

Hi, I just got done watching the Belmont on ABC. Note that I didn't say "I just got done watching the Acorn, the Manhattan, and the Belmont on ABC." That's because you didn't show the two Grade I races on the undercard before the Belmont. Not on ESPN, not on ABC. I just don't understand why you would switch the coverage over to ABC after showing the rest of the undercard on ESPN and not carry two GRADE I races. You really disappointed some race fans today.

There's a 500 character limit or that rant could have gone on for a long time.

I watched all the pre-Belmont races on TVG and then switched to ABC to watch the Belmont.
