          He does seem knowledgeable and lifeless - you are right, he will be difficult to stomach this week - I guess it will be mr jody applegate and don la greca instead

          • Could not find anywhere that was airing the meeting. Nowhere. Couldn't even find it on the illegal online streaming sites.

            Whoever is running this should really be ding more to promote the event ... it is a landmark in the US sporting calender.

            There is a real separation between racing in various parts of the world.

                That's the closest I came to picking the Derby winner since 1996, the only year I ever picked the winning horse.
                Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                  The year Grindstone nipped my horse, Cavonnier, at the wire!


                  The Blood-Horse:
                  "Television coverage of the May 4 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) on NBC drew about 16.2 million viewers, up 9% from 2012 and the second-highest number since 1989, according to The Nielsen Company.

                  NBC Sports, in a May 7 release, said the household rating of 9.7 with a 21 share for the race portion from 6:05-6:53 p.m. EDT was the best since 2010 and tied 2009 as the second-highest rated Derby since 1992, when ABC covered the race. The 9.7/21 rating was up 8% from 9.0/20 last year, and up 14% from 8.5/19 in 2011. The share measures the percentage of TVs in use that were tuned to the network."

                  • Any bets on the Preakness?

                    Put some exacta bids down with Orb winning each one.

                    • I went with Goldencents and an exacta with him and Oxbow. But it still wouldn't shock me in the least if Orb won going away.
