Yes, I watched though it was difficult to see him early in the race when they were coming down the backstretch.
What they’ve done for yrs is show the race rerun with the winner in isolation so you could really see how he ran the race. And if any Derby deserved a rerun with an isolated view of the winner, it was this one!
I can’t believe they scrapped it this year.
ESPN news has an overhead. It is AMAZING to watch. And, it is HD, so you can actually see horses and such, not just a brown blur.
Oh, you know another reason. The ESPN talking heads were mentioning that everyone was “upset” this horse got into the Derby over more qualified horses. Notice the announcer only says his name one, to mention he is in last place, during the race. He didn’t say it again until after the horse won the race.
They don't have enough cameras to isolate on every horse.
