i like espn's coverage. they have knowledgeable people, that want to be there because they LIKE or Love horse racing!
the major networks have people that it is their next "big" assignment or "big" event, so that's how they handle it. people like bret mussberger, the derby was his next "big" event. ( i can't stand mussberger on a good day at any event)

i understand what they do with the production. they are not after those of us that come together on this board. they tring to get our wives and mothers or the people that think horse racing is over after the triple crown. they know those of us "here" will watch and the production is not for us. do i like the way it's produced? in most cases no but our sport is on national tv, take it how we can get it.
