Louisiana Derby & TVG

I know TVG is an easy target, but why in the hell are they showing a maiden race @ Santa Anita instead of the Louisiana Derby?

It's on no other changes. (as far as I can tell?)

I sort of figured it was a contract issue, just odd they said it was being shown on TVG2.

Oh well.. no biggie.

I swear I saw him go so wide that when he re-appeared towards the wire, he had a HOT DOG in his hand!!!

It was the best outcome - we didn't have to suffer another of his interviews.

Would you rather have heard someone like Leparoux mumble in half French half English?
Maybe we could have been treated to Castellano say, "well, ju know. I jus want to sank the trainer and the owner for this opportunity" in severely broken English. At least Desormeaux gives you an honest and candid account of the race. His interview on Roy H (I think that's his name) after winning the BC Sprint was excellent.
Folks just love to give Kent shit and that's the bottom line.
Get over it and find some new material y'all

The TVG App lets you watch TVG 2 which shows all the CD tracks.
