Default REVIEWS: ESPN/NBC Coverage?
I didn't think about it until this morning, but yesterday was the first time I'd watched a Triple Crown broadcast in 7 years.. I was switching back and forth early to the hockey game conclusion and OTB TV-12 here for Belmont/CD/PIM, so I didn't see everything, but what I saw was OK I suppose.

I was mystified though when we got Tom Hammond's makeup-laden face at one point while they ran the Schaefer behind him.. "As they finish an undercard race here at Pimlico.." he said. Gee.. Here's an idea, WHY NOT SHOW US THAT RACE FELLAS?

Review from the Baltimore Sun here:

Any other thoughts about the telecasts? I didn't watch any ESPN prelim stuff at all...
