Could be worse. We could see the start of a race a la ESPN with the Eight Belles where I presume a drunk in the infield is entrusted with a handheld camera for an 'amongst the people' vibe. Also we haven't seen taped pieces where the jockey of Smarty Jones was some guy named "Elliott Stewart."

NBC needs more cameras the last turn in the woodford was completely obscured. An absolute joke

I'm still recovering from "Top Chef Kentucky Derby." Could you imagine "Top Chef Superbowl?"

Come on folks, it wasn't that bad. You didn't win and you have a bitch about the coverage. Pretty much what it boils down to.

Really? You enjoyed the mussel cooking and the red carpet interviews when you could have been eyeballing the horses in the paddock/post parade?

I didn't expect anything more out of NBC, but I would have liked to watch the track feed (that was blacked out by NBC's contract) instead of all the activities you apparently were digging.

I'm sorry for bitching, you're right, if I hadn't lost so much, the Jerry O'Connell interview would be saved on my DVR for an eternity.
