I have to say that trying to watch the races in France today reminded me once again how, despite the fact that things could be done better, we are fortunate to have TVG and ESPN coverage. We were supposed to see the 3 big races plus the handicap afterward on the NYCOTB channel. They advertised 9:30 to 11:30 to show the races. It kicked on at 9:30 with odds but no picture or sound, but instead an ad for BC day at Arlington Park. The picture showed up in time to see replays of the finish of the Prix l'Opera about 10....ok at least we get to see the Arc and the rest....nope. Did get to see the Arc, but long about 11:15 they decided to start showing the Belmont replay show and never went back as far as I could tell (gave up after the full Belmont replay show...). So yes, coverage could be improved, we all know that, but I have seen the alternative and it stinks.
