CD Stupidity Alert
With 30 MTP for race 1 at CD, the dish TV feed is carrying a message that NBC Sports has the rights to CD race coverage today (12PM-6:30PM). Right now there is no feed available; perhaps someone will look at their watch and start showing the early races. What is funnier (and a sad commentary on the popularity of horse racing) is that, today, NBC Sports is interrupting their CD coverage for 2 hours to show the Tottenham soccer game! With usual alternates CNBC, and MSNBC otherwise occupied, I can find no race listings from 3PM-5PM today. It is quite possible that these hours will suffer a nationwide TV blackout thx to English soccer. Perhaps there will be some provision announced during the early NBC sports coverage, but don't hold your breath.
I should note that the CD feed for race 1 available from the usual internet betting sites.

Update
Well they ran first race with no TV available. Given that the many simo outlets usually get their feeds from dish TV, I wonder if the race was shown.

They just showed a replay of the Animal Kingdom Derby, and I was reminded how much I loved Shackleford...that horse was just so damn cool...
And surprisingly, he has quite the extensive Wiki page...lol

If NBC paid for exclusivity, they can insist on this.

Who's got more forehead Jerry Bailey or the Great Gazoo from the Flintstones?! "Your'e all a bunch of dim dims". You could show an entire motion picture across that forehead of his. I know that I am ripping on him a bit, but, I really do like Jerry Bailey an awful lot.

Reminds me the Indy 500 when you could only listen to or attend the race live, and then they would show it on TV in the evening when it was over.
People wonder why racing is dying, it's stupid shit like this!

They also said during the soccer game you could still watch the live coverage from CD on nbc sports extra online. When I click the live feed there it shows a replay of the show from 9am today.

If you're going to pick obscure references for your insults, you should at least know that the Great Gazoo called everyone "dumb dumbs", you dumb dumb.
Like the enhanced hair on JD Bailey, looking good.
