Is there Ken Ramsey sends a few "pies" ala the Sopranos to some trainers?

So during which one of these do they have the Woodford running in the background, but don't actually air it? That's awesome TV coverage.

Outsiders Backtalk, Make Music for Me Work

Quote:
Backtalk, with jockey Miguel Mena aboard, breezed five furlongs in 1:01 3/5 over the Polytrack at Keeneland. Working in company with Sangre Frio, the son of Smarty Jones was timed in fractions of :12 2/5, :25, :37 4/5, and :50 2/5 while galloping out six furlongs in 1:14 4/5.

Make Music for Me, a son of Bernstein , breezed five furlongs in 1:02 2/5 over a Churchill Downs track labeled "good," with fractions of :12 2/5, :24 4/5, :37 3/5, and :49 2/5. He galloped out six furlongs in 1:18.

This is seriously the most tired complaint in all of racing.

Actually, it's not. The networks have typically owned the rights to the Woodford and Manhattan but elected not to show them, resulting in a TV blackout for the races. If they aren't going to show them, don't buy the rights to the races and let someone else air them.

The networks dont show them because they don't want casual fans to tune out as soon as the Woodford and Manhattan are over because they think they just watched the Derby or Belmont. And those fluff pieces they show instead keep people watching. And they don't let other networks show the races becasue they want all the viewers watchng their broadcast.

Yep. Nothing in that explanation to complain about.

Back in line, drones!

And how does this weak explanation, even if correct, make the complaint "tired"? Damn those racing fans/bettors who actually want to watch two of the typically six most important grass races contested in North America on an annual basis.

That explaination does sound correct. It fits what the suits at the networks want to do.

But it still sucks.

Yeah, it's sort of like an Irish Pub telling their regulars that they can't have beer between 4:00 and 5:00 PM on St. Patrick's Day so they can accomodate the scores of college kids that are there for one day and never come back.

Most horseplayers and hardcore fans are at the track or the OTB anyway.

Last year HRTV went ahead and showed the Woodford Reserve live, hopefully they do this year as well.

Thats a lame excuse because they show other races on the Derby card. The casual fans wouldn't know th Humana Distaff from the KY Derby.
