It is disappointing that since the BC contract with ESPN, it hasn't gotten any better.

With all due respect Deb, horseracing isn't the only program that has been cut short due to sporting events going past the scheduled time. It happens all the time when Tennis is on, and the NHL playoffs would routinely go over and cut into other programs when ESPN had them. Also, your comment about the WBC not being interesting because the US was out is off the mark. The WBC has been very entertaining to baseball fans. Many major leaguers have participated for foreign countries and the games have been highly entertaining. If you didn't like the Japan/Korea game from last week ( the 2-1 game, not the game saturday) you just don't like baseball. Sounds like perhaps you aren't a baseball fan? I guess the World Cup Soccer tournament shouldn't be broadcast if the US isn't in it??

While it may be disappointing to not see the races live, there are many shows during the week that show the races with wire to wire coverage. Inside Racing on Fox Sports Net has a very good show that shows the major races from the previous week. You are absolutely correct though, ESPN should be promoting their new Multi Million dollar investment better than they are currently.
