Thanks so much for the insight Colleen! I will have to definitely try and find that coverage now.

I watched the coverage on USA. They lost the sound feed for the Lane's End so Gary Stevens and Tom Hammond from NBC had to call the race. It was funny in a "can't believe how bad this is" sort of way.

Hammond is so laid back that he'd pause for what seemed like ages between his calls. He got the horses confused a couple times, including in the stretch. Steven's was focused on telling us what certain jockey's were doing. Informative if you want to learn about riding, but not very helpful in figuring out who was where.

You really should watch it. Unintentional comedy at it's finest, and it really made me realize just how hard it is to call a horse race.

As a Ron the Greek fan, I was sorely disappointed in my boy, "If I told you once, I told you 1,000 times, wearing a #6 does not mean you're supposed to come in 6th, Ron!" Holding out for Mendip. Mission Impazible actually impressed me in the SW so I was happy for him, but don't see him as a top Derby contender. I'm looking forward to Backtalk's Illinois Derby start.
