First paragraph from Lisa Bucholtz about yesterday’s coverage.
I have been watching the Kentucky Derby for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are of tucking in with my grandpa to watch the Run for the Roses. I am lucky that childhood me has no memory of NBC’s Derby coverage. Because it is godawful terrible dreck. I am noticeably dumber for having watched it. All of it. I did this all day. It was like a lobotomy without any medical interference.

It was so bad that I fell asleep and missed the race (true)
Ps No alcohol involved either !

NBC did one thing right. No satellite shot of the Derby horses looking like ants when they went up the backstretch. Not sure if that camera was on a wire or a drone or something else, but it was the backstretch pan shot all tracks should have.

Pro, that was a new camera that is akin to the angle often used in football. It was suspendeded by a wire over the track like it is over the field in football. There was some angst about using it but seems to have worked out well.
