Hours of pre-race hype for a two minute horse race?

Just an observation of how much airtime is devoted to yakking about it, compared to how long the actual event takes.

We could make a similar observation about the Super Bowl.

"Just an observation of how much airtime is devoted to yakking about it, compared to how long the actual event takes."

That's fair, but this was a really good undercard: last year's Ky Oaks just completed a double with this year's Ky Oaks winner. They moved the Met Mile to Belmont day. But too much yakking without really saying anything, yep, that's been a problem forever.

I will be tuning in around 3:20pm PST. I figure 15-20 minutes of hype is enough.

You would be amazed how much time a player will spend handicapping the race. I will spend literally days on the Kentucky Derby. I know Hofburg is the “wise guy” horse but I’ve liked him to win the Belmont since the derby.

At least none of the horses are kneeling

so where’s the race thread?
