Aaaaargh!

A bouquet of skunk cabbage to local ABC affiliate WCJB (Gainesville, Florida), which decided that the Virginia-Miami football game -- already being aired on Raycom Sports -- was more important than the Breeders' Cup. :P

Same here in the Seattle area, they're showing a football game. I have been watching the races in ESPN and TVG.

Mahubah, I hope you caught the races on some other channel. This group of races was one for the ages.

Don't worry, I caught all the ones on ESPN, which had the coverage from 3:30 on. It was just the races that were supposed to be aired on ABC that were the issue, and at least I can watch the replays at T-Times' website.

Well, I missed the races that were shown by ABC, because I fell asleep. Can you believe it? I wait all year for the Breeders' Cup, all I have to do is sit in front of my tv, it's mid morning and I fall asleep :!: What's the matter with me?

I like to catch all my weekly stakes races on TVG's The Finish Line.

Yeah, considering the proximity to Ocala, you'd think they (WCJB) would have shown the BC. They WILL be getting an angry email from me!!
