Lady's Secret to air on ESPN

Maybe it's just me, but scheduling live events for a channel with the word "classic" in the title is jumping the gun a bit. Maybe ESPN Niche is more accurate for how they view the situation.

The good news, the ESPN main channel is supposed to break in to show the Lady's Secret. Of course calracing.com shows things on the live feed, so it's not like I won't get to see the rest. If the commentating on tv achieves new highs or lows, I respectfully request that someone inform me of it for the purpose of mocking or celebration as the situation demands.

you might want to check your programming. espn classic suddenly disappeared from my line up after years of having it. it was put in the nfl red zone package, so now i have it back. not sure if that is what's happening with you of course.

I wish it were that simple, but thanks for the suggestion. No, it's a technical problem, and since we're debating switching services (shh don't tell the s.o.b.'s at Charter) we don't want to wait on their guys to come around and mess with whatever they said they needed to do to fix the signal for everything between BBC America and HBO's 1 thru 6. It sounds complicated. Can I sign up for a satellite dish and then hit them with it? As long as it wouldn't break the dish, I think I would get some enjoyment out of that. They gave us Showtime, Starz, and some HD channels to make up for it, so there's that.

I just saw this on Time Warner Cable (Queens):
Effective September 21, 2010

Please note: ESPN Classic is now offered on our Time Warner Cable Sports Pass. If you are not already a Sports Pass customer, please call 877-453-5295 to upgrade.

I guess ESPN Classic is no longer part of their standard digital package. No wonder I wasn't able to set my DVR to record it.

ESPN showing this race? Get ready for tape delay coverage of the race due to the extended coverage of cricket.

Cricket will always have 100 times more fans than horse racing

They have to keep restocking their fans because the matches last so long that many die of boredom before the conclusion.

Looks like ESPN is bringing in their own guy to call the races...Larry Collmus. Good choice. I always liked the guy.

"Hats off to my golfing partner Larry Collmus, the voice of Monmouth Park, who’ll be calling Zenyatta’s next race for ESPN, and once again he’ll be Trevor Denman’s Breeders Cup back-up at Churchill Downs.



Undefeated in 18 career starts, the great Zenyatta is scheduled to race in the Grade 1 $250,000 Lady’s Secret Stakes at Hollywood Park on October 2.



I’m very happy for Larry, who’s such a dedicated and respected professional."

Very happy for Larry. Warkentin is right....he is a dedicated and respected professional.
