Here is Steve Crist's original thoughts on an evening Derby... Haskin made a good point that a cold, rainy first Saturday in May would be make for a particularly miserable Derby experience; a point Crist hits on as well. Interesting conversation/concept...
Night and Day Crist Blog | June 24, 2009 http://cristblog.drf.com/crist/2009/...t-and-day.html There's been a lot of talk here the last few days about the feasibility of running the Kentucky Derby at night, prompted by Churchill Downs's three-Fridays experiment with night racing that began last week. My initial impulse was to regard this as nothing more than idle and fanciful speculation, as no one at NBC or Churchill Downs has ever seriously proposed moving the race into primetime, but a couple of smart people in the television world tell me it's not the craziest idea they've ever heard.
