I've been looking around to see if the Match Race between Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra will actually be televised.
I've heard rumors Horse Racing TV-HRTV.com and Television Games- TVG.com will be showing the event. Unconfirmed info.

Does anyone know what tv station will actually broadcast The Appple Blossom? ABC, ESPN, NBC? Some other station?

I'm dying to find out................... :-)

I think it will be on NTRA for free, via web site streaming. Same as the two races today, wich btw, starts at 03:00Pm pst 06:00pm est
I think they might also have the Tampa Derby today. Not sure. You have to do the free NTRA registration first. Very easy.

Thanks Doug

I watched the "prep" races for both Zenyatta and Rachel on TVG-live via video streaming. I'll check out the NTRA site.

According to The Bloodhorse magazine, the Apple Blossom will be televised on ESPN2.

They apparently were having trouble and nobody got to see either race. I'm quite upset, because I cancelled going to Golden Gate Fields so my wife and I could view off of my computer. Glad you were able to view.
Others were upset too and put out the results as they came in though Twitter. If this info was correct, I know the outcome of both races. We have lots of Golden Gate Fields freebies for next weekend, so we'll go then.

A flat out "NO"

The owners have deccided not to race, Rachael Alexandra in the Apple Blossom Stakes due to her last race performance (second Place)and where she's at in her training schedual. Zenyatta will be there, however. The purse will go back down to the original $500,000. Not 5 million.
There's still a chance that they'll meet someday this year. But, I'd say, " Don't count on it ". LOL I still think/know, Zenyatta's the best of the two.

I'm with you sound...

Zenyatta is sunshine, she has not been overshadowed by any horse. Her accomplishments are there for all to see. To an unbeaten horse continuing to win is a must and Zenyatta and her team are working to get the best she has and hopefully finish another great season undefeated to become a historic horse for the ages. My love for horse racing brought me to this game but I would pass up a final by my best horse in this game to watch the real thing. Too bad Rachel lost but that is horse racing, she dilivered her clunker at a bad time. Maybe this is good news for Zenyatta which could keep her winning and hopefully be 2-0 on the year after the Apple Blossom. I've set a few dollars aside so when she next races at Santa Anita or Hollywood Park I can go to see her run and continue on her path to greatness.

I have a few pictures in my Users Photo's I took at the BC Classic if anyone would like to see them.

Thanks for sharing

Nice photos, Richard. Actually I've looked before. I haven't posted my personal at the track photos, because I didn't want to turn over my copywrite privileges to HRF. Btw, my Avatar is a bronze statue of Seabiscuit at his ranch in Willits, California.
My Canon Rebel is always with me. Thinking of updating it.
