Another fantastic performance from American Pharoah. Led and won very easily. Bring on The Belmont! It's going to be a hard wait, let's hope it's worth it when we get there in three weeks.
Just a small change there DWJR, the race itself is at 10:18, not sure how long the coverage goes on for but should be longer than 10:30 considering the Preakness Start Time.
My pleasure, a great race and a super win by a talented horse. Love my USA racing, therefore this time of year is very exciting! Bring on The Preakness!
Attached is the NBC coverage of the race which was shown on ESPN2 (61 On Sky) with their aftermath and the alternate commentary they provide. Incidentally, until 10pm there's a replay of the day on the same channel.

Can anyone tell me who is calling the non tote's in the video (link provided). Doesn't sound like the usual non tote caller for the central region. Whoever he is he sounds good.

Race 1 is at 10:30 am NZ time and there are 13 races
I must agree, Jewels day was absolutely fantastic, complete with high quality horses, records, and great finishes. Yesterday's gallops certainly did not compare to that.
Meadowlands coverage would be great but I find their live streaming is very good. Live coverage and full lead in and aftermath for each and every race from the Meadowlands. http://www.thebigm.com/video.aspx?id=252
Earlier in the evening we were taken to Hatrick and greeted by Elizabeth Whelan, a very nice presenter who surely would have added to the evening. She mentioned she would be back prior to Race 1 to present for the evening. So the obvious question is what in the world has happened and Where's Lizzy?
A horse that caught my eye would have to be Tuinfro. This horse is a perfect example of what a mobile start can do for a poor starter from the stands. I feel it's fair to say she is not the best from the stand start. Almost got there today and a tenacious pillar to post victory on day one. I am impressed.
