The Greatest Two Minutes In Sports
The 150th running of the Kentucky Derby wrapped up television coverage at 7:30pm this evening. NBC had 5 hours of coverage today. A bit of a surprise that CityTV had the race and came in with 2.5 hours of NBC's coverage.
Two years ago TSN had 7.5 hours covering the day in Kentucky with pre-races, all kinds of backgrounder and a lot of their own coverage from reporters they had sent to Churchill Downs. CTV also had about three hours of coverage from TSN/NBC in 2022.
Then last year, no Canadian network carried the race. Sort of surprising this major event has such spotty coverage here. Again this year a very good race, and photo finish.
The big Leaf/Boston matchup is on 9 channels on my cable service this evening.

On a related horsepower note, the closest ever finish in a Nascar race occurred last Sunday in Kansas. Kyle Larson in a Camaro beat Chris Buescher in a Mustang by 0.0001 of second. The photo finish picture was amazing. It was about 2 inches at almost 200 piles per hour.
