While it’s frustrating for horse people, NBC is doing what they need to do to keep NON-horse people (i.e. the majority of the audience) tuned in.
Also, they just did a brief Harley feature, so we really can’t complain that much. Lol.

Apparently I no longer recognize “famous” people. I’ve never seen the people they have been interviewing before, I have no idea who they are. I suppose that comes with age…

The puppies were so cute.
Do they really have to describe the Baffert mounts as his and not by the trainer who actually has them at the race that is not suspended?
Zedan’s comment about “glory” made me gag.

I am so glad that the insufferable Tara Linpinski and what’s his name is not there this year. I’lll give kudos to NBC for that.

Who on earth was the half-wit in the white suit with Drake?
I agree on the celebrity hate - this is why I watch most pre-Derby stuff on TVG.

Jack Harlow, another rapper.
I don’t know how good the coverage is for racing, though. On another, non-horse board, they’re talking about how the Derby is:

Boring
Cruel
Stupid

I don’t think the celebrity stuff, drunk rich people, and goofy hats coverage does us any favors.
The puppies, however, do!

Charge It’s pony has matching decorations in their mane and tail. That’s cute.
Next year I’ll just watch the replay. This has been excruciating.

And he was still full of it after the race. Bet he’s “fun” in the barn
