does anyone know who will be showing this race? i am not at home and need my husband to record it.

Pretty sure TVG has exclusive coverage.

I just checked the entire ESPN family of channels line up today and see nothing.

I think the answer is yes, but will this be shown at the OTB? I never watch the races there because it is so seedy. I've been able to pick up all of Big Brown's races this year on ESPN.

you think they had all his races because he was in it?? um, no. it's because he happened to run in races that espn televised.

Monmouth has online feeds of their races. Have hubby fire it up and do a screen capture. Or watch the replay, FREE, tomorrow on Racereplays.com.

it's the monmouth stakes, non graded as it's a made up race for him to run in. iavarone said when he wanted bb to run, and that he wanted it on turf, so monmouth wrote a stakes for him.

oh
sorry, i was wondering how you'd missed they were having it!

the_fat_man · #13 09-13-2008, 05:06 PM

So much for the web feed: lost the video portion going into the 1st turn.

Luckily, Durkin wasn't calling the race.

AeWingnut · #14 09-13-2008, 05:09 PM

woo hoo got my $4 back that I put on Shakis to show in case Big Brown pulled another Belmont

1st choice
2nd choice
3rd choice

what a disappointing race

Danzig · #15 09-13-2008, 05:11 PM

he was in command from the get go-altho of course the final margin was much smaller.
i just meant that he looked more impressive to me today than he has since the preakness.

That was nicely done. Clicked off his fractions like clockwork and said "come and get me", and they couldn't. He looked good today. The soft turf has to give them a world of confidence about the Pro-Ride track.
