Florida Derby Coverage ALL 10 MINUTES OF IT!
Does anyone else have a problem with the fact that the Fountain Of Youth was just a 10 minute segment on ESPN News? There were two major prep races,(3 if you count the HUTCH) for the T.C. today plus a Grade 1 and many fans were not able to see them. How is the sport supposed to flourish, if major prep races for the TC are not shown nationally? Am I over reacting? Or does most of America just care about the Derby, The Preakness and the Belmont? Or did America rather watch Belmont beat East Tennesse St. in the Atlantic Sun Conf. championships? This wasn't exactly NC vs Duke in the ACC final. Was that game better than The Hutch, The FOY, The Frank E. Kilroe Mile Handicap and The Bob Lewis? Also, are there any die hards that did not see the races because they do not have the proper channel? Maybe it is the begining of March and I just have Derby Fever!
