That was pretty lame. I agree. The coverage was a little shakey. I would have loved to have heard more about the connections of the horses and the horses. The derby has so many interesting story lines... why do this top chef thing. The derby does not need filler.

i'm thinking that perhaps nbc and bravo are owned by the same folks.

Oh My...I guess they should show horses getting their balls cleaned instead. To collect fans they have to show all that other nonsense. Get a grip.

And the ADW's video is shut off....simply aweful.

i turned it off. will put back on at 5. maybe by then they'll be discussing horses, not how some lady got dressed by a designer i never heard of, or mussels cooked yesterday.

cue 'casual fan' bs in five.....

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

Gary Stevens is sooooooo boring with his monotone voice.
