Kenny Mayne, for my taste, is one of the better talents on ESPN.

The networks really dropped the ball this year. The public was really captivated by the whole Rachel - Mine That Bird scene. They were ready for some extra racing action after the Derby.

I think this year's Belmont viewership will be better than last but will fall short of the Preakness increased ratings.

I hope I'm wrong.

It will be great though to see so many races in HD on ESPN and ABC. I hope we might even get to pick up on some horse body language. But we may see a little too much of the talking heads and not enough of the real stars.

Really looking forward to the race.
