Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About ESPN's Kentucky Derby Coverage
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
This might come as a surprise but I think ESPN's coverage of the Kentucky Derby is one of the best jobs they do all year. Sure they go overboard with coverage at times and it's rather goofy, but we're talking about a horse race where people where funny hats and Nick Lachey is an honored guest.
This year's ESPN coverage is going to be much of the same but there's a bonus for you Derby fans. Mike and Mike! They're going to be doing their radio show with special guest Kenny Mayne from the first turn.
Here's the rest of the schedule....
ESPN’s coverage of the Kentucky Derby will include the Kentucky Derby Draw on Wednesday, April 30, at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and the Kentucky Oaks on Friday, May 2, at 5 p.m. on ESPN2. Hosts Kenny Mayne and Rece Davis, analysts Jerry Bailey, Randy Moss and Jeannine Edwards, handicapper Hank Goldberg and reporters Jay Privman and Steve Cyphers will cover the stories, horses, jockeys, trainers and owners.NBC's coverage starts around 4pm and the weather looks like it's going to be good this year. Grab your funny hat, a mint julep, and make sure to bet your friends. AA is liking Colonel John.

Pretty sure that's jockey Angel Cordero - hard to tell as he's not in flamboyant silks.
And riding a twitchy, unpredictable, very fast animal. Or is he?
If this means Joe Tessitore is sent back to boxing, all hail ESPN. That guy was routinely screwing up racing telecasts. Completely unfit for the job.
I'm breaking down ten contenders for the derby all week on my blog if you need help picking a winner. Sry for the lame plug.
I know it's hard to get past the flabby cleavage, but that 'belle' has some serious man-hands.
shudder.
that. is. all.
Who wants a bathtub mint julep???
Shes got some serious jock itch or maybe shes adjusting her "boys"
Damm that neck looks sliceable.
OJ's quest to find "the real killer" has led him to the Kentucky Derby.
Who's the three boobs by OJ?
Gibbon, you're right...that's the first thing I saw, was that mean left hand of that chick. Looks like the hands of a Mr. Goodwrench mechanic.
Is this the create the caption pic for the day. Seriously, a fat southern "belle" and OJ Simpson getting hugged by some guy.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
