It seems that ESPN is doing all they can to wash their hands of horse racing. The network that used to carry most of the important races other than the TC is showing nothing except the BC now. The BC expanding to two days is now using up 8 hours of low ratings airtime. Last year they should have thanked 60 Minutes for their Zenyatta piece. Last year's BC was the only one with decent ratings since ESPN took over for NBC.

When is their contract up with the BC? What happens when the BC is on TVG, HRTV, or Versus? Will that be the end of it as we know it?
