ABC's Belmont Coverage - Too Much Talk, Not Enough Racing

ABC like NBC, when they covered the Preakness, has chosen to totally ignore the undercard. Since ABC came on at 5PM they have chosen not to cover the Acorn or the Manhattan but if you want to hear Kenny Mayne, Jeanine Edwards and Hank Goldberg repeat themselves over and over about Curlin, Hard Spun and how dangerous it is to be Robby Albarado, you are in luck. I have resigned myself to watching the Manhattan on streaming video on Youbet. Meanwhile, ABC runs an American Express ad featuring Ellen DeGeneres and plugs their Ruffian movie just as Better Talk Now and English Channel are battling it out in the stretch. ABC's coverage makes NBC look good.
