And for the derby I like Nearly(though I think I might have just chosen a horse and made a pick because I liked the name and way they looked like I did for Grande last year. And then part of me wonders if Commandment and Renegade are going to do a Journalism and Sovereignty rivalry just because of the names😂 don't ask I just pair horses in my head or something I'm not sure |

How is everyone following the prep races? Online, NBC/Peacock, Fox, FanDuel, RTN, after the fact on YouTube? . I've been watching first TVG and now FanDuel on a daily basis since the channel went national in 1999. And a week ago, the UK company which owns FanDuel, plus other betting exchanges around the world, announced that TV production would cease in June (which blindsided the employees). They'll show the track feeds, which include the race calls from those tracks, no commentary from the usual handicappers and analysts. They'll complete their contractual obligations through June (which I'm assuming means the Triple Crown and I hope Royal Ascot; they've already started running commercials for Breakfast at the Derby, which shows works off the Derby horses and features about them), and again in November for the Breeders Cup (I hope we'll be getting Breakfast at the Breeders Cup, but that remains to be seen, and that's it. At the end of 2027, the channel will go dark. |

Unfortunately my region is blocked from FanDual so I watch either live on YouTube or afterwards |
